*I'm a snail MOMMY* PICS! HELP NEEDED!

Okay, as I was checking up on my aquarium tonight, I noticed something:



A tiny SNAIL! YAY! (I have 5 mystery snails, 1 gold, and 4 blue) Now, here's the question, Is the stuff in the following photo fish poop or snail eggs?



Because it wont go away.
Then I look, and I have found a total of 3! BUT Im scared! I don't want to do a water change/sand vaccum in fear of loosing the little buggers. I plan on going tomorrow to get one of those breeders nets perhaps, and putting the snails in there with algae wafers on the bottom of it to keep them out of the sand out of the way of the vaccum (AND my betta!!). Would they stay in the net if the holes are small enough? As long as I put the top part of the net a little out of the water, they probably wouldn't come out, right? Is that a good idea? Any other suggestions? I asked in a thread the other day when snails became sexually mature, because I had wanted them to breed so I could sell the cute little guys! I honestly think my snails have the cutest faces ever!!!

Okay, enough with the chitter chatter, here are some photos of my adorable parents!




Such a cute little face, (down)!!!

Also should I maybe buy a sponge to put over my filter?

And, I never saw an egg sac above water. Not even in my filter. Why didn't I see it? I thought mystery snails were supposed to lay eggs above water?


^AWWWWWWWWWWWW

bump

Anyone?

Also, my betta seems like he has been really not hungry lately. He hasn't been eating as furiously as he usually does. Do you think he's been eating all the baby snails?

ARe you sure? Because 2 of them have blue bodies, like my blue mystery snails. The other one shown has a gold body, like my gold mystery snail. I checked all my plants before putting them in.....several weeks ago, and didn't hve any snails on them.

And no, the poop things aren't moving. You think it's safe to do a light gravel vac/water change?

oh no... i found another. that's 4. I hope they're not pond snails. That would suck. I really want baby mystery snails. And, the reason why I still hope they are mystery snails is because my snails have been doing it a lot lately =) If you know what I mean. Or at least that's what I think they've been doing, because this one, he's a male Im like 90% sure, he has been on top of this other snail for like 20 minutes at a time and ....yeah, Im not getting into details...
