Thankyou

No probs!!

wow thats neat! i was thinking about posting the same question, i don't totally get the whole mating thing and sexing of snails.... this will definitely help!!

LOL is it possible for a snail to have 2 penis' ?? i think my bigger snail plays tricks on me, the big bugger never tells its secrets

LOL little black fish what exactly have you seen could it be his syphon tube..as you are looking at him the sheath will be on the left hand side...LOL but then again anything can happen he may have got lucky from the big man in the sky

thats one lucky snail!!

haha i'll have to look closer

Phoenixx, those are some neat pictures!! Do you breed them professionally? It looks like you are keeping the eggs in water, did I see that right? My black mystery snail layed eggs above the water surface on April 22nd this year, and I took the whole hardened bunch out and put it in a glass container with the same water and the same position they were in the main tank. Nothing happpened since then, and when I broke the cluster apart, no baby snails....Did I do something wrong?

Hi Ranchu

Thats not my web site...I have it in my faves from someone who posted it on applesnail.net...I wish they were mine LOL...I havent even had a clutch from my lot yet
I have been reading a lot about breeding snails and have everything ready for the event..I have heard that you scrape the eggs off with a credit card and put them in a tupperware container on damp kitchen roll keeping in a warm place..moist but not wet..they may need a ocasional water spray..there are many different ways to do it...some float them on the top of the tank on polystyrene and some people make hamocks from old ladies hair nets over the side of the tank...keeping them away from the eager mouths of the fish LOL...Linda

Oh, okay! Nice pictures nonetheless!! One of these days we will manage to get ourselves a few snail eggs, Linda!!

Yep indeed Ranchu

I have the spare tank and the credit card for scrapping the clutch and the hairnet ready but nothing not a bean LOL
