Hi Mate,

My Apple Snails started to breed when they were about 1/2" to 3/4" in size.

Hope this helps,

Richard

Hi,

Do you want them to breed or are you just asking out of curiousity?

Richard

 

[bluedude]

a little bit of both to tell you the truth.

Hi,

If you want them to breed make sure that you feed them well and that there is somewhere for them to lay the eggs. Have a look here this site is good.

Hi,

Try the link in the last message but I use Pleco Wafers. Mine seem to love them. The website in the link will give you much more info than I can.

Hi,

To be honest no. I was doing some mainitenance one day removed the tank hood and found a cluster of eggs. Took me by surprise. I replaced the lid and looked a couple of days later to see if they were still there and there was another batch. I remember posting on here about them and had a lot of interest from various members. You will probably get more responses tonight when people are at home and not at work. I dont know if anyone else knows if you can tell. There is a post going around at the moment which has pics of egg clusters etc. The post is called 'Found an Apple Snail Clutch' by Lynz781. Have a look at that and you will get the right idea.

Apparently not lol. What sp. do you have, Golden Brigs?
Bettas will do ok with snails so you can keep them together. You will see them mating (if you have both sexes) and you may get eggs a few days after that. Have a look at the two apple snail species profiles in the list at the top of the forum homepage.
