one of my snails climbed to the tallest peak in the tank and began squirting out little bubbles/eggs of some sort. He did this for about a minute. They shot out of his body somewhere on his back I think. They blew off into the current.

Could these have been eggs? Am I gonna have babies all over the place? I know they reproduce well. Is this how its done? hehe. Thanks !!!

I have several that do this at once -eggs and then sperm that looks like smoke signals. It's wierd they will all do it at once in different parts of the tank.Yes I have a ton of them in my tank and my glass is very clean. I just brush them off the front glass.

They will dissapate after a month or so to a comfortable level - at least mine did. Jay
