Cerith snail question

Shifferbrain · 10-01-2007, 05:01 PM

I have had cerith snails laying eggs like crazy, yet there are no baby cerith snails that I have seen. I've ended up with baby astrea snails but no cerith. I also have nassarius snails, but I'm positive that it's the ceriths laying the eggs.

What Gives?

My cerith snails lay eggs on the side of my tank all the time. I have never seen any babies. I have read that they are extremley hard to breed in captivity.

Oh well, I don't like them as much as the others anyway. Thanks for the input!

They become fish food as eggs
