I looked into my snail tank tonight to see these little spots moving on the glass. I had to look real close in order to see that they were baby mystery snails! I have been trying for months to get these to hatch and all it took was for my tank light to burn out.

Sweet! I don't know about the mysteries, but the apples take for-freakin-ever to hatch. Something like two months till they finally came out and then the discus ate 'em. Those bastards.

2 weeks they take to hatch. Once they get bigger I'll start selling them off. I have to start applying for permits to be able to sell them off. I'll get pics up as soon as I can

Hrm. Didn't know you needed permits to sell snails. That a Maine thing or something I just missed somewhere?

Nice job, Mike. Some snails do require permits to ship out of state. Not sure which ones though.

Congrats on the mystery snails Mike!

Nice!

Yes you do need permits to send some snails and a some are common types. I can't remember either....I think I may have a post about it here somewhere or on AC, used to have it book marked but can't find it.

Kim_TMA on AC said that she had to get permits to ship them. She sent me a link and I have it somewhere when I find it I'll post it in the inverts section.

I had numerous mystery snails hatch, but my survival rate - despite 0 on ammonia, nitrite, and nitrates - was very low... I found many empty small shells, but I know there are a few planaria or something in my gravel, and I hear reports of baby snails being preyed on by those things.
Have lots of veggies on hand - I found zucchini and cucumber a hit, as well as some high protein sinking cichlid pellets.
But my spixis have actually increased their population despite being in a predator filled tank...

Best of Luck!

Thanks for the info c_scherer
