Mystery Snail Eggs/Edited w/photos

Guess who is a proud father to be? My Mystery Snails that I just bought on Wednesday past week have already laid eggs. I just found my first batch right above the water line. Yeah!!!!!!

Congrats! You'll get over it pretty quickly over the next few weeks LoL! You should have little ones in two to three weeks. I have a few in my tank, but they must be getting eaten, otherwise I should have thousands by now!

LOL Thanks folks. I'm happy. I will try to keep them under control (if I'm lucky enough to have them hatch) and not let them get over populated. I'll increase the water level in the tank as well to help control it later on but for now I want babies! LOL

I don't know how the Bloody Parrots (BP)will respond once I add some into the tank. I'm planning on placing the snails in a secure spot and let them come out on their own. Surprise!!!!! (for the BP's) teehee

Oh Cool!!! That's awesome Ken. Holy cow, she must like your tank because she didn't waste any time setting up house! Sorry I missed a previous announcement, but what color(s) are your mysteries? Ooooo, I'm so excited for you. These guys have SO much character. I adore mine! Yay for babies. *lol*

Hello Ilovee. I posted the link to the other thread if you want to read it.
3 of the snails have yellow shells with dark bodies and 1 has a brown/black shell with a white body. I really like these creatures

Hi Ken. Just took these pics of my male mystery snail parked in one of the Loachs' entry points. He is larger than a golf ball.

Oh wow! lol Beautiful Life. I'm amazed by how much snail body is actually inside their shells. Thanks for sharing! I took a lot of photos yesterday so hopefully I can post them over the weekend.

Good evening/morning! Here are a few photos of my Mystery Snails and the eggs I'm waiting on to hatch. These guys are in my 26g bow front.
The Anubia on the right hand side of the pot is a live plant. My first, and I got it (along with some Java Moss) from a Fish Lore member kind enough to send it to me. They're doing well

Awww that's so cute. And your snails are so pretty. I hadn't seen dark foot with light shell before. Eep! I can't wait to see your new grandbabies hatched.

I wasn't expecting the dark flesh either. Haven't seen that before either - would love to get a couple of those! I think those eggs will become instant fish food. I keep spotting babies, but I certainly don't see any getting larger!

Thanks Folks. I'm having a good time with the new snails and yes they can really get around in a hurry if they want. I had no idea that the snails came in different colored bodies either until I got these.
Life why do you think the eggs will be instant fish food? Maybe my fish behave better than yours! They are above the water line. Are you referring to when they hatch?
Have a great weekend everyone!
I'll keep you posted on the eggs.
Thanks again.

Absolutely when they hatch. I think they'll be a delicacy! I just noticed another batch. I cannot believe how quickly she churns them out!
