Assassin Snail eggs!!!!!!!

ChessieSFR · 06-08-2012, 10:02 AM

Hi everyone!

I'm going to have baby assassins in my tank! I was watching my tank and noticed these odd little square looking jelly things on my java fern roots, with a little yellow dot inside.

I looked it up, and it seems my assassins got a little frisky!

I'm really excited, but now I definitely want a new big tank and to keep my little 10 gal one as a baby tank for my baby platys and my new baby snails.

But where am I going to put it?!? Sigh.

Yay!

Um, anyone want some assassin snails in a couple of months?

How long does it take Assassin snails to hatch anyway?

I would LOVE some assassins, even fairly small guys. PM me on here please :3

Okay, once they hatch and I have some to spare, I'll send them over to you guys. We'll see how many make it, but I've counted at least twelve eggs, so I should have a good bunch of babies.

I too would be really interested in getting my hands on one of those at some point. I hear that they do wonders for algae buildup as well as keeping other "pest" snails from getting a foothold in the aquarium. Please let me know once they have matured if you have extra to go around!

I've got assassin snails and have never seen them eat algae. My convicts have recently eaten them all in defense of their fry.

I was so excited today! My assassin babies have come out of the sand and started exploring. They are adorable, and still tiny, but adorable.

I too find that they don't eat algae, but they do a great job on leftover food at the bottom of the tank and pest snails.
