phoenix44 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I am so happy Ive been keeping my snails for a while now, and feed them heaps of healthy stuff and meat and everything else :lol: (leftovers etc). This morning, I woke up to the eggs I was hoping I would find one day. The poly sits on top of the tank, to keep the snails from going for a walk.... again. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although genetics obviously pays a part I'm sure that the intensity of the blue shell will be affected buy the chemistry of the water in the tank and also the diet of the snail. It will be interesting to play around with these to see if I can intensify the colour of any offspring if I get lucky enough to breed them. I will some pics when they arrive.
