@Moshimonsterable Seeing as you don't understand how to properly go about breeding, I would consider NOT trying to breed your betta. In fact, I advise highly against it. Bettas are extremely territorial and even when attempting to breed them one or both fish can be injured or killed. Do yourself a favor and just leave them be.
Do you have live plants in that aquarium? If so, how do you keep your Apple snails from eating your plants? I just bought two yesterday and they destroyed my plants overnight, even after i threw some stringy algae in there! T_T
@TJFarnsworth hey.... errr can you give me some help with my apple snail? cause i keep it with my feeder ghost shrimp that aren't exactly feeders anymore cause i keep them as permanent pets, but they are starting to attack the snails! and i am afraid i might have to do what they were made to do in the first place!!! (being fed to my catfish and turtles)
will 1 snail in your tank will other just appear or do you need more then 1 snal to make more because i just got one and i dont want them to kill my tank
well some stores sell apple snails as mystery snails but the one difference is when they're laying eggs. apple snails go above the water line and lay the eggs, mystery snails lay them below the waterline, ect...
thats pretty much how you tell them apart,
ivory mystery snails, are actually an apple snail. and i know this because of experience since i have 4 day old and smaller ivory apple snails crawling in my tank,
i have a bunch of apple snails in my aquarium too, they dont eat that much algae but they decorate the tank nicely, they are interesting to watch. They LOVE apple slices, i usually drop a bunch in the day before i clean out my tank. they also love cucumber slices, peas, plants, lettuce...most fruits and veg slices.
they dont swim but they can sort of glide on the water and float around.
they're basically the same size still... I'm hoping that they don't grow anymore.... plus the tank gets over populated with snails, so I have to clean it out every now n then...sigh...
i just got 2 snails. one snail hasnt come out all week. its s been a week i thinkits dead. the other one is just is fine. going all over the tank lol.
I know what you mean :) , i went to the pet store last week and they had loads of snails what they think of as a pest , and i asked if i could get them for my aquarium they said no problem :) , 4 real big trumpet snails +-4 cm and some gilled snails pretty big , i was happy like a little child lol . They are now in my 60x40x30 breed tank :)
i have a snail problem! i brought 3 snails from my local fish shop and i had these egg filled jelly sacs in a couple of weeks and they looked absolutely disgusting, plus my fish became ill and one died of white spot after i introduced the snails (stress?) so i took the snails all out and chucked them out into a pond^^ i eventually turned to a chemical snail stunner thingy since they kept reappearing!
the downside unfortunately is the "mass" reproduction of snails, if you don't keep up with them, they will over take your tank... the jelly sacs are the eggs they lay n lay n lay nonstop... good luck...
Can anyone advise me on snails? I have a pure and simple goldfish tank with two comets living in it and I'm now interested in snails, though I'm not sure what species would be suitable or specifically how to care for them. Can anyone help? Thanks x
hi, i think that any snail from like, walmart or kmart would be good for your fish bowl, be aware tho that it/they will multiply fast and could over take the bowl. The mystery snails so they call them are really apple snails and could grow quite large in time and if the environment is big enough. U don't have to give any real special care to them or food, they seem to eat food at the bottom and algea on the sides of the aquarium. I do feed mine cucumber slices and they LOVE it... : )
are mystery snails apple snails just yunger becouse whenever i look them up i find mystery or apple snail. i dont think they are but im not sure. also if they are mystery snail ( said mystery at store) are they hermaphrodites, otherwise how do u sex them??? reply!!
HI, Yes, Mystery snails are "Apple" snails. I didn't know that either when I posted this to You Tube..someone let me in on it after the fact. I was told that Apples are sexed, and you can tell by the male. (that was what I was told) I beleive tho that they're hemaphrodites, as I usually get hundreds of lil snails showing up certain times of the year without ever seeing any copulation. I feed them lettuce and a lot of cucumber slices weighed down by lead sinkers for fishing.they LOVE cukes.
thanks, been up now for a few years, and now I have only two angles as two paired off and started laying eggs so got rid of the others to a family pet store... snails are fine and reproducing 100's at a time....sigh... escargot anyone?? : )
two of them are the standard silver angels with the stripes, and the rest are the "double dark" angels... don't know what you mean by the 19 seconds thing... ?
are you serious they are ilegal!!! i was gonna buy like 100000000 of them fuck me!!! lol i like your video i was thinking of getting angels too... lol
well if U do, post a video and link me to it, I wanna see it and yer new angels... hey, those snails they sell at walmart called "mystery" snails are actually Apple snails.. someone here on YouTube educated me on it all... go figure.. now U can get one too... now where'd I put m'beer....
xD i bought 5... they ran out and 1 died inside the bag... i have 4 alive with 2 red tailed sharks!!! yay... ^>^ lol its hillarious the little one chases the big one .. and then the big one runs inside a hole inside the castel and then pushes the small 1 out the way!!
probably because they breed like no tommorrow, constantly laying eggs and before U know it, your tank can be overrun with snails as well as sewer systems and lakes I guess...
i had one but when i was watching he took this tube out and started to poke my fish lyke a stinger he killed my sasara comets and my other fishes :( i want anoher one :)
: ) got them at a 'Mom n Pop" shop.... you can go to walmart tho and the "mystery" snails are really Apple snails. Feed them cucumbers and lettuce. I weigh the cukes down with Lead fishing sinkers as that is a safe element for water and wont rust or give off any toxins that may kill your fish
That's adorable! !

Well i put my girl betta with my boy and he chased her
Then i put her with my bros the same
So then i put her in her own and 3 days later i found eggs on the bottem of the bowl
People say they belong on the top and need to be fertilazed how can i fertilize them if hes trying to kill her?
