xmamx Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I am currently trying to breed some neon rainbows with wool mops and there are quite a few snails (the really small brown ones that have a brownish see through shell) on the mops and in the tank. So do these types of snails eat fish eggs?. I think that some eggs have been laid but as the mops move in the water i cant be sure the eggs are still there. The tank has plants in it and also has green hair algae also (the slimy stuff), so therefore do i tear down the tank and make it completely bare and sterilize the equipment and start again or should these types of snails be ok. Thanks for your help, Xmamx :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I have to agree with mystic, I'm sure Snails would think it's great to have some Fresh Fish Eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 yeah, they most certainly do eat fish eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmamx Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Thanks guys looks like i will be tearing down the tank and starting with a nice fresh clean tank, will be best for breeding and cleaning anyway. Will hopefully have some baby rainbows sometime this year. Cheers, Xmamx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmamx Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Went to strip the tank down on the weekend and when i pulled out the breeding mops i saw some eggs. Then i looked in the tank and saw a couple of fry . I took out the parents and now i have about 20 - 30 fry swimming around, i have been feeding them liquifry and will start me brine shrimp culture tonight. YAY :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
