You can actually raise the larvae in a one gallon tank. Just transfer the mom when she's expected to give birth soon. Once she releases all the eggs, remove her and change that water into brackish water instantly. Aim for a 30ppm salinity. No acclimation is required when changing water from fresh to brackish. They can live up to about a week at the most in Freshwater.
Foods need to be extremely micro. Green water is a part of their diet.
The process is long and hard, most people don't bother. I, for one, have a pregnant amano and I'm not even gonna bother. At least, I don't really feel like it right now. However, if you do step up to the challenge, it can be rewarding :-)
Whatever you do, good luck with her!
P.S. I packed the snails up for tomorrow's shipping. There's a total of 12 so that allows about 4 per tank :-)
