how long does it take them to hatch? I've got 2 and can put them together to make loach food, I just dont want to have a huge snail infestation.

Took these 2 weeks to hatch, in a tank by themselves now, had a guppy in there w/ them & he ate about 10, b4 I caught him...he's since been moved, lol. It took another 2 wks b4 I could get a decent photo of them

Proud, errrrr I mean oblivious parents

those are some nice looking snails, I may just breed mine and when they hatch, move all of the hatchlings to my main tank and let the sharks and loaches eat them. thx for the info

[LCnVa]

Wetwetwet, the parents are about 2 inches wide by 1 1/2 inches high.

they are lighter in colour to the ones i have seen in the past i recomend putting them in a breeding trap tanked they are my favorite snail.

A breeding trap, hmm not a bad idea. is there anything in particular I need to do to get them feeling Snaily or will they just bat eyes at each other and say "let's go"?

) I gave mine a few brine shrimp, a wine pellet, dimmed the lights & let nature take its course *****J/K about the "wine pellet" don't want the snail police after me ***** P.S. I had them about a week b4 she laid the eggs.
