FS:Apple snails

[the_fish_man]

My apple snails have laid a couple egg sacks and they are starting to hatch even with them being as tiny as they are there are still to many so I can sell you a egg sack or wait a week or two and give you a almost full sized snail.
I will be reasonable with price tonight I can try to post pics of the parent snails and the baby ones would probably look similar to them.

[strokinbyeu]

r they yellow apple snails or blue?

[the_fish_man]

I'll post pics in the next hour but they are yellowish and one is blackish

[dkpate]

Tagging along, I wanna see! Are they apple snails, or mystery snails?

[the_fish_man]

Apple snails

[dkpate]

Hmmm, so they get ginormous right? I might have to think about one in about a month if you still have them.

Pics!

On the aquarium with the red and black gravel if you look on the sides the yellowish specks are apple snails. They are a little bigger now.

[the_fish_man]

One more pic.

[the_fish_man]

So the big ones are the parents there are more yellow ones and I think the baby ones are from 2 yellow parents instead of 1 yellow and 1 black But you won't know for sure until they get bigger

[the_fish_man]

Won't seem to load well it is a egg sack and about the size of the one on the aquarium to the right

If you grind up some cuttle bone (bird stuff) and sprinkle it in there, your snails shells will look better.

This is what my snails shell looks like now. It was terrible when I got her from the pet store.

[the_fish_man]

Really? I didn't know that do they eat it or is it just like a supplement Should I like put 1/4 of the cuttlebone in every week?
Lovly snail by the way

[dkpate]

Thanks! I love her.

I grind up about 1 tsp a week and just put it in the tank. I am not sure if they eat it or just absorb it. I break it in half and run it under the water for a bit, then beat some of the end off with the end of a wooden or plastic spoon to make it "powdery."
You can also just bury half of the cuttle under your substrate so you don't have all the floaties.

will all that be safe for fish n live plants?

[DragonFish71]

It's safe. I use it in all my tanks that have snails or shrimp.

[dkpate]

Dragon is who I got the info from, and she has BEAUTIFUL tanks.

[the_fish_man]

Have some bad news. One of my snails just died
But the good news is that I was looking at one the really tiny apple snails today under my microscope and I think they are all like this but their shell is yellow with blackish dots on it.
I guess we know it was the yellow and black one who made these guys.

Just got some cuttlebone to snails getting bigger another egg sack hatched to tiny to look at to see if they have a different color. Oh and if anyone is interested just PM me. Think I will ship priority so $6 And we will figure out a fair price.
