I'm hoping either Kip or Bang will respond to this:
Its been a while since I posted anything, luckily (and with hard work) both my tanks have been doing extremely well. About a month ago I noticed little snails on the glass of my tank, coming out of the sand later in the afternoon/early evening time.
Now, every day I watch the little snails come up out of the sand, and they seem to growing at a nice pace. I believe they are nassarius, as they are now large enough to identify. Here's my question.....
At last count there are over 100 of them. I have also noticed the adults (the big ones) laying more eggs just under the sand level on the glass. Is there such a thing as a snail infestation or should I just enjoy my little snail ranch?
The tank is stocked with fish and crabs...I'm not sure how these snails have made it this far....but its clear to me that there is no natural preadatorial impediment to their growth and reproduction.
