I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions on hatching and raising spixi snails?

Mine are laying eggs like crazy but I am not getting good hatching rates.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,

John

I am just trying to raise my first clutch now. I took the clutch out and put it in a container of tank water with a bubbler. I have sone infusoria and fry food for when/if they hatch. I'll let you know how it goes.

They seem to have relatively low survival rate of the babies. I would recommend removing the clutch to a breeder trap to be able to montor and feed the babies more easily as tey are exceptionally small at hatching.

i get dozens of clutches but not that many surviving to adulthood, not really trying though as I cannot sell them.
