I've recently began to breed ramshorn snails and I wanted to know if anyone had any tips or info

Hi and 

 
Afraid I don't know much about Ramshorn Snails, however here are a couple of links that may be of help if you have not already seen them.
 
Good luck with your breeding project and do write and show some pics of your progress, would be interesting to read and follow if you can do this

I had them for a while a year ago.  They breed very fast so if you feed them a lot expect TONS of baby snails.  They can be really hard to get rid of.  My fish like them crushed thankfully.  They are very cute little snails and there are multiple ways to get rid of them, so don't worry too much, just have fun with them!    Hope it goes well for you!

hi you need filtration and calcium for shell growth for healthy snails.

I have filters on every tank, and the cuttlefish supplement hasn't dissolved. I'm currently looking for an in-tank divided breeding box so that I can isolate groups based on traits

Good luck with your breeding project, thankfully they aren't fussy on what they will eat.

hi gizmo I have a shrimp tank and after reading about calcium on another forum instead of buying expensive liquids the advice was to use calcium nitrate as it dissolves easy out of all calciums .I use a teaspoon every water change . got a large tub from ebay .
