Help breeding ramshorn snails please

I have a 10 gallon with ramshorn snails, pond and bladder snails also cherry shrimps. I’m trying to breed the ramshorns but I rarely see eggs and when I do see eggs, the next day or couple hours later they are gone. I see only a couple baby snails ever so often. I’ve bred them and had tons before but now it seems like they aren’t breeding. I feed small amounts of food every day so that the tank doesn’t get nasty. I try to make sure food is always available but not just getting nasty in the tank. My shrimps are breeding in this tank and doing great but the ramshorns are barely breeding

EDIT: foods that I feed- homemade snello, blanched kale, snail/shrimp pellets

There's your problem. No nasty, no snails. But changing that will also mean bladder and pond snails will multiply as well.

The bladder and pond snails don’t bother me. I’m just really wanting the ramshorns to breed. So if I overfeed they will reproduce more?

You missed my point. They are competition to the ramshorns.

And yes, the snail population is linked to the food availability. Little food, few snails. Much food, many snails.

Oh I see what your saying about the bladder and pond snails. Thanks for your advice. Im fighting with my allergies right now so haven’t had much sleep lately and I’m my brain is getting a little slow lol

Like half of the people around me, I understand.

Do pond/bladder snails eat ramshorn eggs
I'm not sure if I read it once somewhere or some snail eating eggs

 

Now that you say, at least pond snails do. But those will eat everything.

Oh dang… maybe that’s what eating the rams eggs.

I have a little tub with a sponge filter and a heater that I throw any duckweed, excess hornwort, and algae/debris I scoop out that I don't feel like dealing with at the moment. For a while I started collecting ramshorms and tossing them in there because I was planning on getting a pea puffer and wanted to save them. A few months later and they've just about doubled. Started off with 20 or so, now there's well over 50 in there.

Just an idea, but perhaps you could try to start a colony of ramshorns in a tote or something? I've found they really don't need a whole lot. I replace the water weakly, drop in a few blanched veggies and..that's all I found they needed to start breeding. There's also either a pond or bladder snail in there that doesn't seem to put a dent in their population, although maybe I'm not paying enough attention to them. It's also in front of my window which gets high light and the hornwort is covered in algae. I never see eggs, but there are tons of little babies.
