| I'm not sure what type of snail this is. I have two adults and many babies. I saw these snails mating once. The male was on the front glass releasing sperm and simultaneously the female was on a rock in the back of the tank releasing eggs. I'm not sure what triggered this--whether it be the time of day or a chemical message sent via the water. Anyway, I'm happy they are reproducing since they are great algae eaters. Much more effecient eaters and much hardier than any astreas or turbos that I spent way too much money on in past tanks. (Pictures taken December 2000). |
