timbruun Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I'm just wondering if fish eat snail eggs. I've got a few endlers, shrimp, 1 demasoni fry, 1 yellow lab fry with my MTS and ramshorn snails. I noticed egg clusters on the glass and leaves of plants and watch them too see how they are progressing. I'm noticing that they are suddenly gone. Do these fish, shrimp or other snails eat the clusters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I don't know of anything that'll eat snail eggs. It's possible the eggs have hatched and the baby snails ate all the jelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbruun Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I didn't think they hatched that small. I guess I don't really know. I'm expecting it to look like more than a dot before it hatches... Is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Just a dot is how they start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbruun Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 That's fine then. I guess I figured I'd see soomething that resembled a snail somewhat. Maybe it does if I put it under a microscope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 When they hatch, they really do just look like tiny specks on the glass. It takes a few weeks before they begin to look like tiny snails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
