AWESOME! keep us posted.

Why is your water so low?

Q

the water is low probably to facilitate the snail's egg-laying, since mystery snails require an above-water area to lay their eggs or else the eggs will 'drown'.

Oh, that's great! Soon you'll have some real itty bitty baby mysteries, instead of the poseur pond snails!

Yep, you've got it. The lowering of the water level encourages the snails to lay the eggs, like mine did, on the side of the tank instead of under the lights where the eggs will eventually dry up from being burned.
