Crystal’s Aquariums 🐠

In case you guys were looking for a snailbies update, my baby ramshorns have all laid eggs in the breeding tank (there are like 30 clutches ALL over the walls) and it’s at the point where I’m going to have to start doing some major snail control... I never knew it could get this out of control and I haven’t fully decided what I’m even going to do besides freeze the entire breeding box and some of the snailbies (while feeling extremely sad) and dispose of them... it’s a sad day but this can’t continue the way it’s going or I’ll be completely overrun.

My OG snail Gumball laid several clutches of eggs in the last several months. I tried a few hatching methods without success and eventually I gave up (or so I thought). I have been letting clutches fall in the water in the community tank and I thought they would get eaten or not make it. But now we have 14 VISIBLE baby snails of different colours and sizes. This is incredible! I’m going to have to find another tank FAST but I had tried so hard and it’s so nice to finally be a snailgrandma.

I just want to say this: if you think keeping fish is simply having them in a bowl or vase for decoration, you can walk right out that door man.

So here’s the thing, my snails keep climbing onto and riding my breeding box, tipping it over and letting all the guppy fry out and I keep having to catch them all over again in a community tank. She does this daily and she gets a talking to each time...
