Apple snail eggs!

Ok what do I do

Do I mist them or leave them alone? I have three clutches of them.

 

[cyris69]

These are in my community tank, should I remove them to a deli cup as I have one assassin in that tank.

Leave them be. They will hatch in about 2 weeks and fall into the tank. Just make sure they stay above the water line and should be fine. Also after they hatch you should put in a cuddle bone to increase the calcium on the tank so the shells become hard.

Sounds good, if most hatch will I be way over my head with them? I have a dedicated assassin snail tank so will I need to make another snail tank?

 

[fadetoblack06]

They should be fine they're tiny at first you'll have about 100 of them. Just make sure you throw in the cucumber and algae tablets in there for them. I have marble crays in with mine so most of them have become dinner. They'll be ok.

Can gold snails mate with the blues? That would be pretty cool to get a variant. I'm going to attempt to setup a 75 gal snail only tank this week

 

[cyris69]

I'm watching another one lay a clutch right now so cool!

 

[cyris69]

Ok, um, there are two more clutches today. Can I remove some of them to another tank or provide just a moist cup or something? I'd prefer not to have several hundred to a thousand baby snails in my main tank. I don't want to get rid of them just not in that tank.

Well I moved most of the clutches to a container with an inch of tank water and placed the eggs on a piece of styrofoam. Then the container is on top of a light strip for heat
