Have you guys ever seen snail eggs?

[xaznkewlguyx]

I've never seen them before and they look pretty cool so I thought I would take a picture and post it!

Looks like they are justt floating in jelly. lol

But yeah.. my 20g is gettin infested with snails. I think I will do the lettuce trick tonight and see if it works. If that fails.. I will resort to copper. Do you guys know if copper is safe for fish fry?

I'm seeing like 5-6 of these little egg clusters all around. On my plants and driftwood.

come pick them up.. your house is too far for me.


Anyone else in SoCal need snails before I get rid of them? Free puffer and loach food! I've got some pretty decent sized ones too.

Nice bladder snail eggs. Your plan to use copper is going to cause disastrous consequences next. What happens when the snails die? They release a foul smell and even ammonia which is why copper treatments are a big nono when trying to get rid of your snails. Try to control your feeding rations and your snail population will simply stabilize itself. Also, not all MTS will be destroyed by the copper. They have an operculum (trapdoor) to protect themselves from toxicity of chemicals. If you have fish that do not eat snails, get assassin snails. They cost $4 and above each and need a mate in order to breed but in general, assassins are very slow breeders and resulting generations are worth selling for since they are in high demand right now but at a limited number.

I was at a fish auction Saturday night and someone actually submitted a bag full of ramshorns. LOL

Colored ramshorns (minus the brown ones) and Columbian ramshorns are very valuable. Don't confuse the common ramshorns (Planorbis sp.) with Columbians (Marisa cornuarietis).

These were the "hire a loach" variety. Or puffer food. It went cheap, but they were definitely feeder snails. LOL
