How 2 hatch zebra/olive nerite snail eggs?

[Big Bubble00]

I Got a new driftwood, so I removed the one with tons of zebra nerite eggs into another container and I want to know how to hatch it and what does tha larvae eat. If this experiment started succesful, I might try selling it online ?

I believe the eggs aren't fertile or can hatch unless they get laid after the adults bred in brackish water

^^ That's what I thought too, however I was curious about this myself, and found on another forum where somebody that was breeding them kept the parents in fresh water. Then they moved the driftwood or other decor with the eggs on it to saltwater to hatch; not brackish.... They said that they had much better success that way, than hatching in brackish water. Idk, of course that's all me said, they said.... lol

The one reason I never kept nerites were the eggs. It’s like snail graffiti.

If I remove the male, will they stop breeding like crazy?

I just discovered that there are 2 females ?. No wonder so many eggs

What if the eggs are laid in freshwater and then moved to brackish?
