I have baby apple snails!!!

So I got home today from a very long trip to NY tonight & when I checked on my eggs they were almost completely gone! The snails were eating their way out of the sacs so it was very cool! My camera will NOT focus when I zoom in so this are the best photos I could get.

The clutch on the left was found in the water so I was expecting them to not be viable. But that is kinda a good thing because I do not have the space for all those snails! mg:

I have moved them over to my shrimp tank so I can keep a better eye on them though. I think I may have shrimplets coming soon too! The other day it looked like a shrimp was picking small white dots up and putting them into her swimmerettes (SP!), were they possibly eggs?

Well we are up to about 20 and a few are moving away from the clutch so I guess they got all the "sac" they could eat for now.

1 question though. IF I have 20 how long could they live in my shrimp tank before causing an issue with the bio-load? I know full grown they need 2.5g each. The tank, 10g, has about 10-15 MTS & 10 RCS.

*edit* forgot to add the pictures!

Very cool! I imagine the babies are really cute too but I can't get past the egg sac at the moment.
