Baby Netrite Snail In Freshwater?
Discussion in 'Snails' started by MoonsCow, Apr 18, 2018.
I’ll start off by saying that I know that nitrite snails aren’t supposed to produce offspring in freshwater but will still lay eggs.
I have a single zebra and tiger snail in the tank and haven’t added anything new to the tank in over a month except water. Ph is 7.6, hardness is unknown, and temp is 78 . I took the baby snail out and put it in the other tank with the “pest” snails.
I figured that one of the eggs that my netrite s have laid had simply hatched as it looks like a baby netrite but it probably won’t develop well because of a lack of salt.
I do have some sort of “pest snail” in my other tank put it is defiantly isn’t one of those as I have a bunch of them and they have a different shell shape.
Figure I still could’ve gotten a egg at some point for a different snail that has just recentaly hatched.
Nerites won’t reproduce in freshwater.....the first looks to be a bladder snail and the second one is a ramshorn probably hitchhiked on some plants.
Ah okay I thought it was weird and I know the ramshorn came with some plants as I could see it as a tiny spec Before I added it and decided to leave it be. Guess I was just hoping for some baby netrites even though I know they aren’t supposed to reproduce in freshwater.
The pond snails are a pain, but give the ramshorn a little time, you might enjoy it. I have them and they do a great job with plant leaves (and don't eat the plants, unless there is a decayed spot on them). I think they're pretty, and they're peaceful. They might reproduce, but not like pond snails, and they are easy to take out if you don't like them. I actually ended up buying some pink ones. When they have babies, all my friends want one.
Yeah I don’t really mind having him around but probably wouldn’t care for a bunch of pond snails popping up. Out of curiosity is it normal for them to float around if they happen to get dislodged; until they get some more weight to them anyways.
