Hey everyone.

I woke up this morning to see what I believed was a massive group of cory eggs. I started removing them to their own little holding area, but I came to realise that they weren't as sticky as they normally are and harder. By the time I'd removed 17 to their own little bit I noticed two clumps of pink eggs in the roof of my aquarium, so I'm guessing these little egg-like dots are baby apple snails.

There are still loads more eggs left to hatch, but one clump in particular looks kinda dried out. Should I mist them or something?

I've still got the ones I caught in my breeding net, though there are still several more that I dropped when trying to get them out. My cories are in a digging frenzy around the area now and my dwarf gourami is seeming interested too. For that reason I'm guessing it might be a good idea to leave them in there until they're a little bigger?

Finally, any idea how long it takes for apple snails to reach a reasonable (sellable) size?
