Apple Snails

[guppyboy24]

i have two apple snails in my tank but recently noticed theres pinkish red eggs in the top left hand corner of my tank, are these the snails eggs? and if so how do i care for them? any advice would be helpful.......

They sure are mate. You don't have to do anything. Make sure the water level stops below the eggs and make sure they get plenty of light (aquarium light) and they will hatch and slide down to the bottom of your tank. Be careful when doing any substrate cleaning with a vac etc.

Congratulations

If the eggs are too near the light they may dry out. Half way between the water level and lights or just under the lip of the glass brace is where mine usually lay. Good luck keeps us informed.

1st off you need to think hard where you going to put your 200+ apple snails, it might not seem like it but trust me their clutchs are huge. The eggs will hatch from 10-21 days depending on temps all i did with mine was make sure they are above the water and sprayed them lighty with water on a night for high humidity. I have hatched aprrox 400 snails in a plastic 100L tub with no light and the litte guys are no worse then the other 500+ that were hatched with T5 lights over them so dont worry. you may want to cut a small but of the eggs to keep and throow the rest out beofre they hatch applse snails need 2.5G of water per adult
