Okay so a friend of mine bought two mystery snails for her ten gallon as petsmart told her they would be great algae eaters and would keep her tank super clean. :rolleyes:

After having them for a couple weeks they grew really fast and they were making the tank incredibly dirty. she asked me if i would like to take them, if not she was just going to chuck them in some pond. I had a spare 55 gallon with just two feeder fish my sister won at a fair. (Not being used a feeders, they are pets now and own the 55 gallon :good: )

BUT I added the snails in there lastnight and woke up to a yellow-ish cream sack of eggs stuck to the side of the tank!

I have never owned snails before and don't know what to do. I don't want millions of snails in my tank that are going to end up getting that big as my 55 gallon isn't strongly filitered.

Any advice on what to do?

I woke up and though the snail got out of it's shell and was dried up and stuck to the glass. I was freaking out! :sad:
