Snail eggs

[lauremf2002]

I have what I think are snail egg sacks all over my glass. I have watched (through a loop) them release tiny babies. I am guessing they are nasarius snails as they are the only snails I have observed mating and are on the glass the most frequent. I am wondering how long it will take them to mature to a point where I can see them with my

eye. Right now my tank has no fish and only scarlet hermits and blue leg hermits so I dont think they have too much to eat them. Just wondering if they will actually survive to adult hood (if they do Im going to have hundreds of them!)

I already know they are nassarius. I researched that, I just cant find out if they will survive, and I have yet to see a tiny snail on the glass. They are soooo small when they "hatch" that I always loose site of them before they hit the ground. I would post a pic but my camera has no macro setting.

Ahh I stand corrected. What I bought as "nassarius" snails are actually mud snails. But I am still wondering wether the offspring will survive to adulthood.

My snails do that all of the time, like 3 times a week. My fish always eat them before they hatch though.

I dont have any fish yet and I have watched them hatch. They are just so small! I dont know if any lived

If they are Ilyanassa then there is a good chance some will survive unless you have mechanical filtration.

I have a marineland 400 lol so I guess that answers that question
