I've two blues that have laid 8 or 9 clutches over the last 6 weeks. Not all hatched. But at least a couple of have. I've got probably 200 that are about the size of a pea in a 30 gallon.
Did you crack the eggs open once you saw the first one? Do they not need to go into the water as soon as they hatch?
I had two clutches that broke open and several were exposed but didn't drop into the tank. I checked the rest of them and most were not developed at all inside the eggs.
This is the first time I've had snails and have snails lay eggs
no no cracking of any eggs of me i scrape them off the glass with a razor blade and put them in an incubator on top of the tank ..3 layers of folded paper towels the bottom one just barely damp..in a sandwich size plastic container (got mine at the 1$ store) poke a hope in the top and put eggs in.
I lave them in the box until i see them get mushy and break open like in the pic than with a damp finger i pick up all he stranglers and plop them in to the water..along with the busted open egg sack,I do it this way because i have watched them hatch in my tanks most of the time i don't see on snail going or a few at a time..what i have seen is the clutch getting soft and all or most of it falling in to the water..so i try to mimic this! ^_^ seems to be working another clutch is due to hatch in about 3 days.
