Snails

[Stevie]

Hi All,

So, I have two Zebra snails, for chomping the algae in my tank. I love those little guys but I'm thinking they might be breeding. I have spotted several small white eggs in two corners of the tank. (Plus the male one keeps shouting "Oh YEAH!!!!" and trying to give me high-fives.) I remember reading though that Zebra snails do not mate in captivity......

Tommrow is my water change day and I'm gonna remove them what ever they are. I have to go to work now, but I'll try and get a pic of them tonight.

If they were snail eggs, I guess the only option would be to get rid of one.

What do ya think?

What else is in your tank? It's possible that they're fish eggs, but either way they may not be fertilized anyway, which would obviously not lead to more fish or snails.

my snails aren't supposed to breed either but i have babies and a big pink clutch of eggs on the top. i was going to get rid of it when i did my water change today but couldn't bring myself to do it

They were snail eggs! I saw two baby snails in the tank. I broght one of the adults back to the lfs and desposed of the rest. I hope I got them all.
