So I'm now up to 7 bridgesii egg cases and the first one is hatching. Here are the pics.

Congrats on the Bridgesii babies! Are you planning on letting all 7 clutches hatch? Do you already have plans for all of the babies? I only mention this because each clutch could have 50-200 little snails for you to take care of.
 
Nope, I'm going to see how the initial survival rate goes and then start thinning appropriately. I already scraped egg case #8 off of the tank wall and it's in the freezer as we speak. I'm wondering how the frozen cases would work for trout bait.

I do have several tanks for these batches and I figured I'd keep the ones with more colors that I like the most and sell off the rest.
