Cool I am seeing more and more baby Assassins and some are about 1/2 to 3/4 the size of the adults.

I've read that the gestation period is around 60 days, so I'm thinking I might set up a little 10 gallon (smallest empty tank I've got) and move the plant the eggs are on into it. That way I can keep an eye on them and know that they aren't being messed with by fish.

I just set a reminder on my calendar to get another shot in a couple of weeks.

Good Luck with your new plans for the snail eggs, it could be fun watching their progress.....

Thanks

those are so cool....it would appear that they are all contained in their own little zip loc baggie sort of.....

i'm anxious to see their progress

Do you already have a handle on someone to get them from? If not, I have some.

I was going to get some from tim, but I don't know how many he has....I have a BAD snail issue in some of my guppy tanks...so I need a bunch, I have snails in 2 40's, 55, 70,75, an a bunch of the 20's have snails that need to be GONE...is why I was asking if anyone needed puffer food, as they are the common pond snail, an I guess those are the best for puffers I was told. So yes, if you can spare a few of the assasins, I would love to get some from you too, so I don't take all tims.

Sounds good!

I have had them breeding in my 75. The baby snails are tiny! I can't always tell out of the batches of hatching babies, which ones are assasins until they get to be a little bigger
