Mystery Snail Clutch Hatched

My first mystery snail clutch hatched on 5/11/19 YAY! Was a nice sized clutch, but some are not moving . Two more clutches to go. Hopefully my lfs is still willing to take/buy them. As soon as I get 50 posts I can try to sell them here right? The babies are gold inca mystery snails.

 

I love mystery snails, I have one named Macintosh. What is the size of yours and how did you start breeding?

My female is big like a golf ball, mayb a little bit bigger, her name is BBG- Big Bad Gary- cause we thought it was male and the other 3 I have are about as big as quarters

 

What is your advice on caring for them, my poor gal (I am assuming it is a she) has a dirty shell and its also thin. She is about the size of a quarter and a half.

You can take her out of the water and wipe her shell off with paper towel. Feed fresh blanched veggies- broccoli, zucchini, cucumber. Feed algae wafers, green beans. Make snail jello-google some recipes, my snails love it!

Do you feed these veggies in the main tank or put them in a separate bin to feed ?

 

Hope you get to 50 soon, cuz id buy some

I made it to 50, yay! I've been having some fun posting and chatting with everybody here on fishlore. Never did this forum kind of thing before, I don't do facebook or anything else of the sort either. When the baby snalies are bigger for selling I will let you know.

Congrats on the 50 post.... This forum is pretty neat. Haven't come across any keyboard warriors and ppl are truly all about the hobby.

You should also think about supplementing with calcium. Breaking up a cuttlebone and putting some pieces in the tank works well. They'll float for a couple of days then sink. The calcium will dissolve in the water, and snails will occasionally graze on them. This will help with strong shell development.

Thank you I finally got around to doing that and she is already doing better.
