One of my golden apple snail lay eggs. They lay their eggs above water level. Take around a week time to hatch.

I have extra stock for sales. Pls let me know if you interested to buy.

i need help please could mystery snail mate by them selves or do u need 2 of them?

[flashout79]

@ak74u2 you will need a male and female to mate. :-)

For anyone who wants to breed snails: Be prepared for hundreds of snails overpopulating your aquarium in a matter of weeks.

If you don't it to be over populated.. lower the temperature, reduce the food and add in fish to the tank. This will help. :-)

I purchased my mystery snail months ago, yet recently in last two weeks it had two egg clusters on my tank hood. Today it has another one! How is it possible for a mystery snail to lay fertilized eggs without a mate? Cuz I only have one. Someone PLEASE REPLY.

Maybe during it at the pet shop have mate. Apple snail require both sex in order to fertilize the eggs.

I think my snail has done this. We noticed these in the tank, but being layed at the bottom? under the water. We also had this bizzare black thing that seemed to have crawled from under the shell? It swam around and look like it had little black dots on it. And little tentacles things? But our snail looks like it's been eaten on the shell. Part of it is breaking off, and it looks greeny? Is there a parasite in my tank, or a snail laying eggs?

@SmokeWeedEveryDay629 RE:"What happens if I removed the eggs!!!! HELP PLEASE"

Not sure I understand your question. I remove apple snail eggs all the time because if I didn't I'd have more snails than I could raise in the space I have. I simply discard them. If you are talking about removing the eggs to hatch them, yes it can be done - info regarding this can be found at the applesnaildotnet forums. I've never done this - I rarely have a batch of eggs that fail to hatch.

That was pretty fascinating the way the snail uses it's foot to carry the eggs from under the shell to the glass. I have Ivory and purple Apple snails and they lay eggs all the time but I've not yet caught them in the act of laying.

What happens if I removed the eggs!!!! HELP PLEASE

@arcjustice This just happened to me. A month ago, it climbed out of thetank, so i kept the lid on it. Every week my orange snail laid a cluster of eggs. None have hatched. I wonder if they are just unfertilized eggs?

[RhysonXbox]

[jovitotm]
