Just collateral damage.

Ew on the escargot!!! Then again I haven't tried it so hm...

Soon you'll be having tons!!!
I'm working on trying to breed the stripes out of the snail's shell

Wow that's a lot off eggs how many large snails do you have?

I plan on seeing what happens if they hatch I'm sure my fish will take out a lot of them. My LFS would take some if need be. I also might get some assasins!

I got 4 females and 3 males. Still got some babies that didn't grow as well.

How do you sex apple snails?

The one on top/side during mating is the male.

blue1delta · 02-11-2013, 08:03 PM

Really? Mine have roman orgies so IDK who tha baby daddy....

nyxkitten · 02-11-2013, 08:40 PM

LMAO Roman orgies!!!!!!!

There is a way to sex them on applesnail.net but it involves the snail being co operative. I normally just separate them as a pair and watch them. If they mate then I make note of the male and female.

Found my blue mystery snail laying more eggs tonight!

Snail eggs...

blue1delta · 02-20-2013, 04:09 PM

Do these look viable or should I remove them?

msjinkzd · 02-20-2013, 04:21 PM

looks as though they are hatching. In my experience, it only takes 8-10 days in decent humidity. They appear to be baby blues.

When will I see movement? Also I only have one blue snail and she is the female that laid these eggs will they all be blue?

The have hatched and are everywhere! I thought I'd share some pics of the parents making more. If you see tiny specks those are the babies.
