    Thank you for your helpful info on these fascinating and wonderful little creatures! I got my 1st mystery snail a while back as an after thought leaving my LFS to help with algae (some help more than others 😂), but I realized soon after what an absolute joy they are!! Fascinating , playful, & entertaining creatures and I can’t fathom living without at least one. I even have a designated mystery snail tank so that they can enjoy their life if my community tank is a bit too “crazy” (they simply do not live long enough ☹️) ❤🐌

    Found a hitch-hiker in my 20g tall and I was thrilled as I was looking locally at my local fish stores for a few snails. My plant provider guarantees ( no-snails ) so I'm like ''bummer'' I'll need to go get some. Thirty minutes later I saw something on my glass. I got out my best flashlight and looked at it and sure enough 'little feelers' !! So instantly I thought this can't be the only one, I searched hard but couldn't find another, bummer ! But WAIT ! There's more, the next morning I saw a pin head on my bio-film of a new piece of wood, again got out the light and wow, Micro-Snail. The cutest little tiny thing. Anyway, I'm up to four, two about a 1/4 inch long and two micro's. Love you and your videos, Thanks

    The week after Christmas, I bought four mystery snails at my local Big Box fish store, a couple of ghost shrimp got caught up in the catch. The next week, I bought three more from a specialty fish store and 20 ghost shrimp from Big Box. Everyone lives in a 20 long and seem comfortable. I bought some supplies you recommended in other videos and the snails are doing extremely well! Got up this morning and saw a clutch on the back wall of the tank!!! Now I'm catching up on how to successfully raise them!!! Your videos ROCK!!!

    I had a couple clutches hatch this week. So far, every single baby is still alive. They are super active, like to float on the surface, and are all eating regularly. I have been housing them in a separate container using the water from their parents' tank, and their water is the same temp as the parents' tank, which is 75F degrees. I've already been doing the things you mention here, but I wanted to watch this anyway to see if there was anything I hadn't thought of yet. I don't expect every single baby to live to adulthood. I am prepared for die-off. However, I do need some of these babies to stay alive. In general it would be nice for many of them to live on to adulthood and have great lives. The thing is, both moms and one of the dads have passed on. Therefore there's no trying again if no one makes it. The dad of one of the clutches, Reginald, died due to old age. The moms however, both escaped the tank, both ended up with shell injuries. Seraphine's shell was pretty much destroyed, and I did try to repair it, but her mantle collapsed. Madeline lived for a week after I repaired her shell, but she died the night after Reginald passed. Reginald had been spending a lot of time with Madeline (they only mated with each other, by the way), "cuddling" but not mating, and after Reginald passed, Madeline crawled into his face sleep spot and stayed there all day. Madeline had her own sleep spot that was on the other side of the tank, and she would never sleep anywhere else. It was very unusual for her. I woke up suddenly around 3am, and figured maybe I needed to use the bathroom or something, turned on the light and found that Madeline's mantle had collapsed. I think it's up for debate how attached snails get, but she was fine, like perfectly fine and acting like her usual self until Reginald died. So I really need these babies to live, because they are all that remains of their parents.

    Hi there. I see a few unanswered questions re: vacuuming tanks containing babies. I'm a cheapskate and use the pipe off a turkey baster with the small end shoved into a length of soft tube. The wider end is the vacuum "foot" and I bend/crimp/pinch the tube to control the flow. I can hover a centimetre/quarter inch to suction light detritus, like faeces or food rot. I also wriggle the wide end into the base strata to get at sunken silt. *Here's the "catch" ...* As soon as I see sand / pebbles / snails / mollusks / shrimps / rocks / idiot fish / wotev in the turkey baster pipe, I *CRIMP THE TUBE* to halt the flow and lift the pipe away from the base (but still below the water line) and give it a shake. You'll see the grit etc fall and as soon as it does, uncrimp the hose to get rid of the lighter muck and stuff. Of course, the pipe gets blocked every now and then, but it's easy enough to rip it off the tube, bash the obstruction out and reconnect. It takes a bit of practice (of course) but I was pretty _au fait_ by the end of my first attempt, and haven't looked back. Hope this helps! 🙃

    Wow I just realized how lucky I was when my first mystery snail laid eggs and they all hatched and about 50% lived, maybe a bit less perhaps 40%. It was a whole lot of snails at any rate, they were in a 5 gallon tank without a heater and without a pump. ( dont yell at me I know! lol I do my best with the little $ i have.) So most of those snails lived a year or two but I never had any lay eggs again. So I am hoping to do better with my new snails.. I feel a bit more prepared, so I am praying for the best. Go forth Fraidy and Inky and multiply, live long and prosper!

    How do you feel about a little sand layer in the breeder box? Think it would be easy ier to clean that way. How often do we change out food every day 8 hours 12? Ordered a bunch of food from crayfish since it gets here before my first hatches. Got some quick ammonia test strips from coop to keep an eye on the build up as well. I have a spare 10 gallon I coule use as a grow up tank once there pea size. But im also not opposed to water changing every day. Since at this point with all my tanks I do 1 tank a day anyway. And extra 15 mins for the snails would be no bother. As for plants I tend to stick to anubis should I look into plants that help control nitrates as well? Or perhaps a plant that feeds heavy from the water column itself s an option for the big snail tank.

I’m so sad because I don’t know if they are dead or not. I pulled the clutch out of the water and made an incubator for them. It was under water for like 3-4 hours. Do you think that the clutch isn’t good anymore?

    Question: I have a ten-gallon tank and would like to know if I should add the baby snails to this tank immediately upon hatching. I worry they won't get the air that they need since they can't reach the top of the tank. I currently have the babies in a breeder box..which raises a question here too: If I keep them in the breeder box, is it necessary to have a tiny air filter in there as well? Or does the breeder tank not need one? Thank you in advance!

I seem to have hundreds of them and they're obviously moving because they are all over the filter and walls of the tank but there are manny on the ground and I'm not sure if they are alive. My baby snails share a tank with my baby fry. Is this ok?

    At 3:53 will the snails live if they are released into the water so soon or is this killing them so they become food for the others? Just a bit confused as to why you are doing this instead of letting them hatch on their own? I have 3 clutches and the clutches aren't soft anymore, was I meant to do this?

  • @LavsSnails

    Yes! They are ready to live in water at that point and are able to start eating/breathing right away in water inside the breeder box. Sorry for any confusion. I never intentionally kill any snail babies ever, just to clarify♡. Also, if your clutches are soft to the touch, perhaps a bit grayish and you see 1 or 2 babies poking out and you think it's ready to hatch: you can simply gently crumble the clutch into the breeder box as a quicker/safer method to get them hatched out of the clutch and started in the water. In my experience, the quicker they get into the water after hatch the better. Hope that may have answered some of your questions, again, sorry for the confusion. Thank you for watching and your support! 🐌❤

    Hello Lav. I'm seeking your help once again. i have been trying to breed mystery snails for several months now. Not for profit but just to have the experience of watching the process of the babies grow. I have tried numerous techniques including having a snail only tank along with snails in a 75 gallon community tank. So over the months there has been around twenty clutches over time. I had tried leaving on the tank where it was laid to removing and placed in an incubator. None of which has been successful. The ones left alone have either fallen in to the tank water while those remaining still have not hatched even after two months. The ones I removed in to the incubator also did not have any viable babies. I get plenty of bladder or pond snails in the tanks but no mystery snail babies. I am on Aquarium CO-Op forums seeking advice a well but still have no luck. What do you suggest? Can mystery snails lay unfertilized clutches?

  • @LavsSnails

    @LavsSnails

    2 жыл бұрын

    Hello there! So sorry to hear the clutches haven't been successful. Yes. They can lay infertile clutches. The only thing that comes to mind is: Have you seen confirmed breeding? Have you actually seen males? I ask because IF they are all female, they will still lay clutches but, they will be infertile. If you DO have confirmed males, I would try taking a confirmed female and a confirmed male and putting them in a smaller tank, by themselves, for a week or so to make sure there is in fact breeding occuring. Then keep an eye on that female. Next time she lays a clutch, incubate it and see what happens. I wish I could help you more. Let me know how you make out🤗🐌💜

    Heya! 🥳Congrats on all the babies! Woooot!! You can move them if you'd like. It should be okay. I would suggest trying to make sure the new water they are going into is almost the same as where they are now. In my experience, babies under a month are very, very sensitive to water parameter changes. So just do the best you can to make sure the temp, ph, ammonia & nitrate levels are the same or close. A potential ammonia or nitrate bump they may not like. Temp and parameters almost the same? Should be good. Best of luck & keep me posted on how you make out!🐌💜
