Snail Eggs

[ThePBM]

How long do snail eggs take to hatch? What % of eggs in a clutch survive on average?
I think I have some pond snails. There were about 4 of them and I've spotted about 8 separate clutches of eggs, each with 10-15 or so eggs. I don't mind the snails since they do eat algae and the only live plants i have are java moss and hornwort, which they don't eat, just lay eggs in.
Also- if i introduce some MTSs, will they get along or coexist with the pond snails?

just a few days. % to hatch varies on your tank. i would loose the pond snails or you'll have a billion of them. the MTS are great scavengers.

i went to petsmart just to browse, saw that they had MTS in their tanks. asked the guy if they could give my several. he grabbed about 30 of them lol.
free snails. been workin on removing my pond snails.
i put a few MTSs into my sand-bottom tank and it's pretty cool that they leave depression trails in the sand

MTS are awsome little cleaners. i even keep them in the pond outside
