Opened the lid on my tank this morning and found this very strange looking sack of eggs. Never seen anything like it in my tank before. It is attached to the underside of the lid about 1-2 inches above the water.
Can anyone tell me what it is and why it is there?
Go to applesnail.net to find out how to hatch. One member hatched 3 egg clutches and ended up with 700 baby snails. So remember you will end up with a ton of snails.
I breed apple snails. What you need to do is just get a spray bottle and spray the eggs twice a day. Dont fill the water up past the eggs. As long as you keep them moist yhey should hatch in 2 weeks. My last set of breeding pair laid 200+ eggs I have around 150 sold most of them.
No need to mist. But make sure you check on them because mine fell in the tank one day. Not sure how long but I float it on a piece of styrofoam, maybe it'll still hatch lol
Yeah cause just a few sprays a day woint hurt them. Problem with mine is my plant tank dries them out and the snails die. But with a snail laying eggs they will probably lay at least five more of those in the next month as mine usually do.
But yeah just spray them or just somehow put a little water on them. They should be fine and youll see little snails forming soon if they are fertilized!
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!
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.
