I have a Golden Apple Snail, I named him Colin, but it appears she is more of a Coleen! I have found a clutch of around 40 pink eggs (most have fallen off the side, about 6 are still attatched)
I know snails can store sperm, but I've had her for around 9 months now, and she has also been rather unwell lately, recovery has been a slow process, and her shell is still really thin in places.
I don't want to keep any potential babies, and I know the eggs which have fallen in will not hatch in the water. What shall I do with them? Will my fish eat them? They were laid today.
Can snails get egg-bound? Could this be what has been making her unwell? (Lethargic, hardly eating, brittle shell)
