Breeding size for ramshorns?

[red_wall]

Hello everyone, back again with another question...

At what age/size are ramshorns able to breed?

My girlfriend wants one for her tank, but she doesn't want them to take over, so I'd like to give her a single juvie so it won't have the chance to/can't breed and lay eggs all over the place.

So, the question remains... thanks guys.

All you need is one....they don't have to mate to make more. It doesn't matter what size you get it at.

Are you sure they're asexual?
I read one article that said they just remain fertilized for a very long time... as in - it takes two to tango... but do they mate as soon as they're hatched? Or what?

I am sure. They are Hermaphroditic - they don't need help.

it does take two but they dont need a boy and a girl(from what i know but im no expert)

im not shure how big they need to be but they grow reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeely fast so its kinda pointless

and i personaly wuldent do ramshorns i only use them for fishfood and even then i get the colorful red ones, if theyr there to crawl around eat waste,algae and look pretty without breeding go for a nerite snail or 2 or 100,000 it dosent matter they dont breed in fresh water and they wont cost too much more than $3 a snail + they look alot nicer
