baby snails?

[vanz]

anyone successfully got snails to reproduce? I think I have a few cerith snail babies crawling around my glass. They are coned shaped. Let me try to take a picture and you guys can ID.

 

I also have these white dots all over my tank, on the glass and on the rocks. They are ~2mm in diameter. Pure white.

most likely they are either pyramid snails, or some rissoids

Yes i have had baby ceriths, probably 3 or so survived the last time i saw eggs on the glass. I have watched them grow from about a 1/4" when i first saw them. Here were the eggs

I have those white dots too. I think they are FW eggs or something. I don't know for sure.

:eek: pyramid snails??? The zoos don't look attacked. At least they don't look like they are...aww man.

 

Impur, yeah my ceriths use to paint the walls with their eggs, that was a long time ago though. I only have one cerith left.

Here are the white things. I'm trying to see if they move so I have them marked. We'll see if they are eggs are not.

Yah those are the same thing i have. Very odd.

I had stomatillas(sp) breed not long ago.... now they're EVERYWHERE

I saw something in my tank last night with a flashlight, well a few new bugs, but one looked like a neon green snail shaped sort of thing without the shell. I didn't have any lights on besides a normal flashlight so the coloring wasn't from anything else, room was dark....wondering what it was. If he comes out again tonight, I'll try to snap a picture.

stomi's and astreas reproduce in my tank. the astreas have a pretty low survival rate for me... but i just make sure they have a calm place where they wont get sucked into a pump. its just my corner overflow, i have a tube that is all the way at the top. so downlow the eggs collect and they snails grow up and when they are old enough they crawl up the sides and into the tank

We've been fortunate, we've had baby stomies and have baby trochus (these little guys are so cute, not sure I can post a pic)

Here's the "Greengo" I found the other night, he hangs out on the same rock from what I can tell, comes out at night and doesn't appear to have a hard shell. Don't know what he is, haven't seen one like it elsewhere.

a good population of happy stomies is GREAT for a reef... mine pretty much feed the whole tank

 

breeding that is
