I had a pair of what I believe were mystery snails from petsmart. They had 2 or 3 clutches of eggs, so I decided to give one of the adults away so they couldn't mate anymore. Suprise, 2 days later there were more eggs so I figured she must of been pregnant when he left. Then another clutch...

Hello! I'm new to the forum. I've been exclusive to a betta forum for awhile because I've been keeping bettas exclusively for several years, but I've more recently branched out and adding different species so I decided it was time to join a more general forum!   I have a 20G long tank divided...

I would like to breed my mystery snails.  I know that inbreeding doesn't have any negative effects on bugs.  And you can inbreed fish to a point before seeing negative effects.  But I can't find much information on snails.  And what information I do find, isn't consistent from source to source. ...
