My big beautiful Gold Inca mystery snail with her babies. Babies are almost weeks old.

Lovely! Do you think you might be offering some for sale here? I’m thinking of adding a gold to my two purples.

Waiting for them to get a tad bigger, then I will definitely be selling here and on the bay. I will follow you and let you know when available. Thanks guys

Lol! Was thinking about adding a purple with my gold to see what I would get. Are your purples male or female? Had any clutches?

Got some little ones in the tank right now.

Got lucky and had a male and female and they did the rest... I really didn't do anything special. Good water conditions, fresh veggies and algae discs.

Is there any fish in there? And you only have 2?

There was a male betta but I moved him when this clutch was laid. I had a group of three snails, sadly my male snail ( the papa ) passed away this past Saturday and not sure what my other is. I had 6 other previous clutches but I didn't let them hatch.

How do you tell if they are males and females? And I never had luck with my snails!! They always die so I gave up on them

I find it difficult to tell. I had 5, but have 3 die on me. They only live a year, two at max if you are very lucky! I find the snails entertaining so if they should perish I would just get some more. I'm gonna keep about 6 from this clutch, hopefully I will get both sexes, and sell the rest either here or on ebay

I’d say I would def buy some but I’m stressing about what I’m going to do with my babies! LOL

You don't have to let the clutch hatch. You can just remove it a day after it was laid, put in paper towel and baggie, freeze for a day then throw in garbage. Mystery snails lay the clutch above the water line so it's easy to remove.

Mine won’t stop laying. I’ve frozen I think five clutches and kept one. If you catch the female laying eggs, it’s fascinating to watch. The egg pops out and just - travels along the body to join the other eggs.
