At a club meeting auction a month or so ago I got 3 Golden Mystery Snails. I put them in my 60g display tank. A week or two later, I noticed an egg case up on the HOB filter. After some research, I made a hatchery from a small plastic container lined with a wet paper towel. When the eggs began to hatch, I transferred them to an external breeder box hanging on a 10g fry tank. They were all moving around just fine, but by the following morning sadly they had all perished.
A week or two later there were two more small egg cases on the filter. I hatched them the same way but this time I moved all the fry out of the 10g and put the little snails inside the 10g. There are 2-3 dozen little golden mystery snails that appear to be growing and doing well. "If at first you don't succeed..."
I watched a Youtube and the fellow said that in his tank with several mystery snails, if he doesn't add a can of green beans every day, some snails will leave the tank in search of food. He's rescued some, but some have perished.
I had one of my three snails disappear and for a time, I thought s/he was just not where I could see it. I eventually found it on the floor behind the tank - s/he didn't survive.
And on it goes.
