Nassarius Snails

Post by snoopdog »

Who all has Nassarius snails from Liz ? I picked up some from her months ago and they are breeding like crazy and alot of the babies are getting shells. This is the first snails i have had grow in captivity other than the junk brown/white snails.

I have 6. I have not seen any signs of them breeding yet, but I just got them at the last meeting.
Wanted: to set up a tank again.

I have some and it looks like they have been busy...looked in the rubble pile the other day and lots of babys. I think I see plenty of eggs....small white pod sacks about 16th in long on the rock but not sure....

Yeah Terry that is what they look like. I see some on the rocks but more on the glass. Since we moved Amy's tank they have not been as busy reproducing. I hope they start back soon.

Yes they are but not all will live. I would see the eggs turn a white color then the sacks break. The small ones will move to the outside of the pocket and eat around the immediate area for a day. You really do not see them again after that until they get there shells. Then you will see how fast they grow.
