Snail Poison - Does it kill Snail eggs?

I once tried "Had-A-Snail" in a planted tank. Some plants survived, but some like Hornwort crumbled and shed all their leaves within hours of the one and only dose I tried. I immediatly tried to water change that mistake away but still lost many plants.
yep, unless the snails are getting an excess of food, they either won't lay many egg clutches or most of the babies won't survive. as for surviving a crushed shell, I highly doubt it. Besides being painful, it probably makes them prone to terrible infections. If I saw a snail with a badly damaged shell, I would just feed it to my fish, put it out of its misery.
yes have said again and again, nerite snails are one of the best livestock you can have in a tank. excellent algae/waste control, wont breed in freshwater much, very hardy and natural looking.
yes if they are acclimated, many stores online sell freshwater acclimated nerite snails. They will live normally just the eggs wont hatch in freshwater.
note: i wouldnt recommand buying any other livestock like puffers or stingrays that are labeled freshwater acclimated, those are all scams and the fish will die.

I love zebra nerite snails, I think they are the ones that eat only algae and only reproduce in brackish water...
