Fmxmatt Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 In my nightly view of the tank with the torch, I noticed one of my larger snails spawning (snail spoofing haha). This morning, I noticed a large number of baby snails (obviously not from last nights spoofathon). Is there anything I can do to ensure these little guys will survive? They're about the size of the tip of a ball point pen and they're EVERYWHERE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puttputt Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 The smaller ones are probably just a small type snail every one has - hundreds come out every night and they don't get any bigger. Your astreas are spawning - hopefully more than one - then you will probably get baby astreas but they are different and you'll know when you see them as they are perfect minitures of the big ones (little cones). You don't have to do anything special, they'll just grow. My astreas have spawned 3 times - and i have now the big ones, some about half that size, some babys 3-4mm high, and waiting for the babies of the last spawning to show.

tHEcONCH Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Your fish will eat them, so put them somewhere else (like your randon critters tank) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmxmatt Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Mine are Turbo Snails I think, not astreas (though I'd like some of those!) So I need 2 snails to spoof at the same time to make babies? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puttputt Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Yes, you need sperm and eggs, and my fish don't eat them, yours must be nasty ones Conch :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmxmatt Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Eggs produced the same way? I've seen stuff on my back glass which look like eggs (foamy type stuff) but wasn't sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
