So I have some blue mystery snails and I'm just wondering if they breed will they only have blue babies?
Also how do you hatch baby snails?
Also how do you hatch baby snails?
I seen some people float it in a container in their tank? Should I just leave them at the top or try with the container? Or do the snails disturb the eggs?The offspring will be either all blue, or there might be some (25% or less) ivory snails, if the lineage isn't entirely pure. If you are familiar with Mendelian genetics, you can see why in this illustration: Mystery snail colour genetics
To hatch the snails, you should have enough space above water line for snails to lay eggs, and keep them moist. If you have a a lid on your tank, it should be fine by itself. If it's open, I'm not entirely sure.
I would leave them alone personally. Less chance to screw it up if you take the risks of moving ans doing unnecessary invasive procedures on them. Normally people hatch that way only if they are selling the entire clutch prior to hatching or the clutch was laid precariously and may fall in. They don’t do it just for kicks. Hope you get tons of babies!I seen some people float it in a container in their tank? Should I just leave them at the top or try with the container? Or do the snails disturb the eggs?
