Haustrum babies! Hooray!

[Flaringshutter]

I've finally been able to get a fertile clutch (three in fact!) and the little guys have started hatching! It looks like the largest clutch is almost completely fertile, so I should have loads of little haustrums in no time!
Hooray!
Pictures soon, promise. They're way too cute.

well done and congrates,,, weres the pics???????????

Well I snapped a few photos of the lone little hatchling wandering the tank right now. He's terribly cute and so bright green! The haustrum babies are the pretties babies I've hatched by far. At least, this one little guy is.

Here's the setup. Mind all the styrofoam to keep the giant clumsy goldies from knocking over the breeder tank. It looks terrible, but it works. Also, the water isn't really that yellow- it looks that way because of the flash.

Baby is circled in blue.

Dark eggs are ready to hatch; bright green eggs are infertile; yellow eggs are rotten from being wet too long.

I wish they would keep that pretty spotted pattern forever, but as he gets older those spots will become stripes.

Enjoy!

[Flaringshutter]

Sure. They're really wonderful snails, pretty blue feet, striped chestnut shells.
