I gots eggs!!!

I got a bunch of snails last night and woke up this morning and there are snail eggs all over the glass =)

What are the chances of these becoming new clean-up crew?

I know fish eggs take extraordinary measures to hatch and mature, but I do not know the survivability of eggs from the other species in our tanks.

Nice to have happening either way.

im not sure, I have read nassarius eggs dont last long in aquariums, but i also read opposite. Either way, I dont want an infestation at the same time.. so if i do notice they start to hatch ill probably feed a bunch to my nem .

Were you playin' Barry White last night?

 

[rlklassy]

You sure those are nassarius and not nerite eggs? From what I've read about Nerite, they won't hatch unless in brackish water (take that info with a grain of salt because I know nothing).

My nerites lay eggs all the time. I do have TONS of tiny snails, but when researching I thought I figured out that they are Collinista and not baby Nerite. Time will tell if all of a sudden they start growing larger than the head of a pin size they are now.

Well congrats on your eggstraordinary eggs

 

[rlklassy]

well All the forums i read that had pictures identified them as nassarius. Nassarius is all i put in my tank last night, and they are all raping eachother on my glass right now.

and they are all raping eachother on my glass right now.

That's a little eggstreme.

 

[rlklassy]

hahahahahah i debated actually putting that actually

I prefer to think it was consensual snail activities . How can you tell? Lol

 

[goslugsgo]

Listen for the safe word.

 

[FinsUp]

Listen for the safe word.

YES. Please make sure they're playing safe and sane. I'd hate to see a snail destroyed over something that's supposed to be fun.

You should post a pic or video.

 

[goslugsgo]

What happens in the tank stays in the tank.

 

[MuralReef]

You know you want pics or video too!
