MysticReef Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 So caught one of my nassarius snails laying eggs this morning. Anyone know if and when they may hatch? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Eggs = free food. They'll get sucked up by your filter/skimmer/etc before they can develop past larvae. Link to comment
MysticReef Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Aw boo. I was really looking forward to some baby nassarius' running around. Link to comment

My nassarius snails spawn constantly and I have several baby snails in various sizes running around my tank. Link to comment

I've never seen nor heard of any snail spawn surviving without having them in a separate system to rear. There is just not enough fauna in the water column that is properly sized for them to eat, and the way our filtration works, I don't see how there would be any larvae left in the water column after an hour or so.
