Um snail babies?

[Dana42078]

I just looked in my tank and saw about 20 small snails...from my knowlodge I should only have 10 decent size turbos and about 4-6 other different snails....what are the chances my snails are doing it and I have snail babies coz there's no other possible way to explain how they got there.

[Dana42078]

I took a few pix, they are everywhere, big , small...as big as a nickel, as small as a pencil led, or seed..crazy, im talkin at least a 100 if not more. These were just close enough where i could snap a decent pic with my iphone.

I actually saw this mating ritual first hand. The turbo snails all gathered on the top of the tank and (pow chi ka wa wa.) theme song started. It was a blood fest of white goo all over the tank. At first, being new to the whole thing, I thought they were about to die, till my wife whispered in my ears (pow chi ka wow wow) I blushed. Congrads!

I missed the mating but I have tons of pinhead sized snails in my tank too. I noticed them on the glass a couple weeks ago. I love that I am actually able to breed something in my tank.

Those are colonista snails. They stay small and hitch hike in on everything.
