Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Whoa! Eggs!
Today I noticed that there is a light-pinkish cluster above waterlevel my tank... my guess is that they are from my apple snail... now the question is: what should I do? Should I keep them or if not how can I get rid of them? Also, if I were to keep them, how would I keep them alive?

either leave them alone and nature will take its course, whether they all hatch or become food, or take the bundle out of your tank and discard or feed to your fishies yourself

Are apple snails male and female? If so, will the eggs ever hatch, since I only have one snail....

If the snails have laid the eggs already they have already mated. Apple snails need two to produce but the snail could have been full if eggs when you got it.

If she has been alone for a very long time, they might as well not be fertile.

I would take them out then because they should be hatched by now.

Theres probably nothing inside to feed them just the out side egg shell cluster.

Well I took them down right after that last post, so it would have been 23 days ago...
Today though, I found about 6-7 tiny snails crawling around. Are these snail babies or what, since there is only one apple snail, and I did buy some new plants right before the eggs were laid...
They right now are about as big as my adult platy's eye, and they look a bit more flat than my apple snail, almost like ramshorns...

Im unsure of the name.
but they only start showing up later because its usualy eggs that come through on them not the actual snails.
