Guest Amber Nussbaum May 30, 2004 Share May 30, 2004 I have snail eggs everywhere. I think they're from my nassarius snails. Will they actually hatch and survive? Or should I just scrape them off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sph2sail May 30, 2004 Share May 30, 2004 Some will survive. Most become fish/pod food. My fish tend to eat them off the glass. Leave them. They are a beneficial part of the eco system. Mebbe you'll see babies! s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty May 30, 2004 Share May 30, 2004 I have them all the time from my ceriths. As Steve says, they're a great food source. Some may survive, but I wouldn't go out of your way to try to save them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest clownfish4 May 31, 2004 Share May 31, 2004 I wasn't aware that snails laid eggs. The only ones I have seen spray a white liquid into the water and the next thing I know I have baby snails. I do have tiny curled up white tubes on the side of my tank, but those just turn into the thousands of feather dusters that are overtaking my tank.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelg June 1, 2004 Share June 1, 2004 Yes, it depends on the type of snail. Some are broadcast spawners (such as trocus, astrea, and turbograzers), while others lay fertilized eggs on a solid surface. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardofNOVA June 1, 2004 Share June 1, 2004 Amber, I have the same situation going on in my 90. Some have been in there for over a month now, have not seen any moving yet, but I'm pacing the delivery floor now! Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
