This video has been a big help. I have just hatched my first clutch into a breeder box (so cute) and all of the babies are climbing to the top of it and congregating. I put some blanched broccoli in with them as well but none of them are going for it or the shells they hatched from. Water parameters are perfect. Is this normal behavior? Thank you.

Your awesome and I love your channel!!! Your my top favourite aquatic chick and king of DIY is my favourite guy.
“Look at this little adventurous guy!” SOOO CUTE!’ My two snails just had babies. Me and my boyfriend are super excited for our new arrivals!! Thanks for your help!!!
Perfect timing! I just found my first mystery snail egg clutch, so this comes just at the right time! They are super cute!
"Super cute" really tho? Have you seen the hatchlings? They would make you change your mind after saying the clutch is cute, the babys are even cuter
*squee* So cute! I love them! Thanks for sharing this with us, Rachel!
yay! the update! babies! another great video Rachel! :)
Aww so cute! Seeing as how the snails I have are the size of large cherry tomatoes! Thanks for showing this
I love your snail videos! You've helped me out so much and I have over 200 healthy and happy snailies that I hatched and bred! Thank you!!
+Devin Weyman hurray!!
Ok was told to watch all your mystery snail 🐌 vids just found my first clutch soooo excited ty for sharing with us Rachel you are awesome!
Holler if you have any questions and I will do my best to help
@@RachelOLeary ty so much
Thank you so much for your snail videos!! I just hatched some snails after 10 days and they’re so darn cute. I feel like a proud momma lol.
Congrats!!
Been getting lots of ivory and blue clutches. ❤️
My mystery snails passed a few months back. They did leave a clutch though. Left it in my tank and a few of the babies made it! I’m so excited. Not sure what colors they are quite yet but feet are light. So cute!
thank you for the info about these cute snails you are a SUPER STAR to me
Thanks Rachel, I watched the first video when it came out and have been waiting to see what the next step was.
My babies hatched! They are growing fast. Almost the size of a small pea. They are so cute! Thanks for the video.
Oh thanks!!! So glad to see the final step of hatching!!!
Fantastic, I found a clutch two days ago and was wondering if i should leave it alone or do something about it. Now I'll do just that. The same thing your doing seems so easy. This will definitely increase the population of mystery snails within my tanks. Thank you so much for doing these videos.
Good luck!
Hey Rachel. Just got my first egg bundle today. Totally looking forward to it hatching!!
+Lisa Foster hurray!
Cool video! First time I saw anyone do that😃! The baby snails are so cute! Your information is just super!!!!
Much appreciated!
😍😍 omg they are so stinking cute!!!! xxx
My snails hatch naturally in my guppy aquarium , i swear you would think i have brown gravel in my tank but when you look closer you will realize there moving
I'm raising about 80 babies atm, of varying sizes. My biggest ones are almost the size of a 5 cent coin.
Lots of fun!
For lazy hatching into the parent tank..
Can also spray the eggs a few times a day with a fine mist bottle from Amazon... Works with my half covered tanks.
Keeps the shells soft.
Thx for making these!! ❤🍀
Dont mist the eggs, they need humidity but cant get wet
They are soooo cute!!
Thank you Rachel for your video on hatching a clutch.... My daughter and I are trying to hatch our very first clutch from watching your video... Wish us luck....😊
Best of luck!
They are so CUTE!
So cute! Love them!!
Love a good bonus video
Bookmarked this vid yrs ago...
I am back with newly hatched🐌 babies this morning!😍 (Plus 3 more clutches getting near ready to hatch.)
FINALLY!!🥳
Thank you as always for your wealth of information!💚
Great job!!
@@RachelOLeary I definitely owe you a long overdue coffee.😉
Cheers from Canada
@@vikingdeathstrike just glad it helped!!
@@RachelOLeary I hear you..
I'd LOVE to talk all things aquatic with you over a coffee in person as well as about your various carnivorous plant's. Cannot get enough of those vids regardless it being unfeasible for me to grow any.
The learning never stops and that is something/one of the things I've always respected you for.🤩
I've always been a massive snaile geek but never had the chance to try my hand at raising any.
Everything worked/went perfectly my first time hooray! Couldn't help but practically run to get my phn to thank you!
Should you ever come to western Canada someday, (I follow you on IG) dinner is on me!😊💚
They are so stinkin' cute. 😊
They're soooooooooooooooo cute!
SO ADORABLE!!
I didn't realize that snails got those grooves on the shells when the water parameters change. Makes sense I suppose, different mineral compositions of different water affect them, maybe? But what if you're just moving a snail from one tank to another in your fishroom, and the water is the same because it all comes from the same source?
Thank you for making this video been waiting ages for this.greetings from northern ireland.keep up the great work.
+J/S Aquariums thanks. And sorry for the wait, I only hatch as I need more snails. Better late then never!
True.good luck with the family and the fish room.take care.
I almost cried they're so cute!!!!!!!!! 💜💜💜💜😂😂😂😂😂
+kaylo I feel ya!
Just in time, Miss Rachel! Popsicle, Lucy, and Lollipop have produced a clutch for Felix! We are completely atwitter and not quite certain how this will go, but we're doing our best!
Thanks for the vid! I need to breed snails if I go ahead with my dwarf puffer plan
Oh, look how far you've come! Verified and all. congrats chirs
I'm up to around 4,000 with 12 more egg clutches hatching any day. Oh just letting everybody know, Aqueon is on sale on foster and Smith versatops are very cheap, I just made a $750 order of versatops
I guess it's about time to bring in all the ones I put outside in my stock tanks. They've covered the outside edges above the water with egg clutches. They grew huge out there this year eating all the string algae and other natural crap out there
Maybe I'll upload a video of one of my 40 breeder filled with mystery snails. You'd think it's nuts
Teddy Bonkers can I ask you a question?
Hey, where is your video of snails??? 😢
Congrats snail mom🐌🐌🐌🐌
Wow that’s very interesting I’ve just sent the clutch in the water and let them eat their way out I have many cool time lapses
Beautiful!
I have garden snails and they had babies! They are sooooo cute
they are sooo cute!
Great video
Thank you so much!! Love it!
I have some now yellow ones just waiting to see if they are moving
I’m using the method with the Tupperware from your initial video on how to incubate the snail clutch. But I’m wondering if it happens again because I don’t have a top on my tank would it also be OK to just squirt a little tank water on them each day to keep them moist but leave them where they are?
Really!? I did a video too on incubation and hatching out snail clutches and someone said “that’s how you do it if you want to drown them” and “wtf”. I’m so glad to see that I wasn’t wrong. My babies did great with this method. I feel so much better now.
Be sure to follow their progress!
So cute! What are the best conditions though that would encourage mature snails to produce a clutch?
+Genesis Mallanao mid 70s water, and lots of water changes and food.
Hi, my challenge seems to be when is the right time to help release them from the clutch. I had one today that was about 14 days old and I saw one snail had come out. I tried to rub the clutch in the water but it was pretty hard. It doesn’t look like too many survived. I’m not sure if I released them too soon or waited too long.
For me, it is usually around 9-10 days
Cheers, great video.
That was cool
Crap I just found 3 clusters under my tank hood! surprised me.
Thank-you!!!!!💜
That explains why i havent gotten any in my grow out pond
They are just darling
Hi Rachel, I was wondering if you could tell me if snails can just magically appear? I have a 40gallon breeder tank with one lone African Cichlid in it. The tank has been set up for over 2 years. Nothing has been added or changed. The water parameters are pretty consistent. I have no idea where they came from! They're everywhere.
Would it help if you leave them be but spritz water on them daily? Will that help with hatching those on the sides or anywhere on plants?
My babies hatched about a week ago😊
+Adam Nelson hurray!!
Hope their growing nice and healthy
@@prettypegacornunisus2990 they dead🥲 they only live about a year
@@ryanblack9982 oh no, I’m so sorry 😢
ohh must try that!
I will be trying this techniqe
Hi Rachel, I have recently discovered your channel and I love it. My mystery snails have started eating my bucephalandra. they were in vitro plants and I think they were eating the dead plant matter. trouble is they have now started on some of the healthy plants.
is this a sign that I'm not feeding them enough? the tank is new so I've been adding pellets specially designed for snails and shrimp but maybe they are not getting enough?
+fbexi1981 I would make sure you have the right species Apple snail. Only one type is plant safe
+Rachel O'leary thanks for the quick reply. I watched your other videos on mystery snails and I think they are Pomacea diffusa but I'm not certain. Maybe the leaves they are eating are dying anyway because they are adjusting to new parameters. Bruce is flipping expensive though and I'll be sad if they eat it all :'(
Just got my first four snails...I got them In hopes of breeding. Any tips to speed up the process? Should I use a separate tank?
Hi rachelll!!!
Thanks 🙏
Theyre so damn cute!!!!
can i get tips on apple snails? i got an ivory adn black and they both died within 3 days. i got 3 more tonight, i made sure to choose the most active ones. i got some alge wafers since my tank is new, they didnt mention that before so my tank is super clean and i figure maybe they didnt have the right amount of food? i put them in a plastic tub and slowly put my tank water in for a bit then put them in the tank. its been about 2 hours and i havnt noticed much movement. T_T i just want snails but im not having luck.
does the tank need to be a certain way? certain temp? the pet store people didnt really tell me anything other then i should get these alge wafers
these babies are so cute!
I have a snail egg clutch i think thats getting ready to hatch. Ive never hatched them before and i have no idea what i am doing or know what type of snails they are. So my main question is how long until after i see little black dots in the eggs am i suppose to transfer them to a seperate hatching spot in the water?
Thank you!!!!
Hey Rachel what type of breeder box is that..baby snails are so tiny! I want to find a box that won’t have slits big enough for them to fall out of.
Just hatched my first clutch today. They are floating in a perforated Tupperware and all babies are around the edge. Will they move back down toward the clutch remnants?
I just got a hatchery today :D
How long until I can crush them up like you did at 1:10?
Awesome spotlight. Once you have a clutch/batch like these how long (normally) or at what size do you raise them to before you offer them for sale?
I like to raise them up to dime diameter to sell. It takes a few weeks, but really depends on temperature as to how fast they grow. I like to keep them slightly cooler so that their shells are thicker and more perfect.
Rachel O'leary - Thanks :)
hi, how old do the snails have to be before they begin laying egg clutches?
How do you go about culling any that won’t survive?
We started with three mystery snails -- golden, black and white. We have hundreds of baby snails now, but the eggs are not like these clutches. They are individually microscopic, and the eggs are in clear clusters stuck to the glass, way below the water line. Most of our plants are cultured, and should be snail free. The largest babies look like the same shape as the adults, but are dappled. Are these not mystery snails?
No, that sounds like bladder snails
Thanks! I looked at some pictures and they look exactly like what we have -- so, we have a good sized colony of cherry shrimp, and 8 neon tetras (this is a well planted 20gal high) . Is it possible to control the population of bladder snails without harming the shrimp?
When can I put them in the water? After I see them pop out of the clutch, do I wait anytime before putting them in the fish tank?
My parent snails were both mystery snails and one of them his shell is dark yellow and his body is blue and the other one is the same but his body is more purple and darker
I've just got my first clutch today, can you separate the clutch if you are not wanting to keep them all? I would love to keep some but couldn't home them all. Thank you
Yes you can cut them to only hatch part of it
What do baby snails eat.!!! Mine hatched yesterday. My big snails dont like the waffles.
my baby snails hatched today and they are not eating when will they eat?
I'm new to the breeding snails scene and I want to mate my two snails. I put the two adults into a quarantine tank yesterday I'm just wondering why I haven't seen and clutches yet
They don't mate instantly. Took mine 2 days before they mated. I have garden snails
What should they eat after hatching?
Are you planning on going to the chicago aquatic experience?
+RIP Chester no
My mystery snail laid eggs in my turtle tank I am scared tho Bc some eggs have hatches but I still can’t find all the eggs and I don’t want the babies to get sucked when I clean the tank
I am just starting out with apple snails! Very excited. But i want to make sure mine breed. But i only started out with two. Do you have any easy ways to tell if they're male or female?
+Amanda McKay no. They are a bit shy about that but the males will breed constantly so you will know before long
Rachel O'leary ok. Thanks! I've started out with 2. I'll see if they mate over the next few days. Might be back at the pet store for another if I don't notice anything
But how did u remove them from the glass of the tank
How many days it takes to get hatched
Rachel please help! I can’t seem to find information on what if they eat out of the egg sack and crawl to the water in my DIY incubator? How long do I keep them there? Maybe I should just hatch them the way you do it.....and why are some clutches not fertile?
If you check the clutch every day, at about 10ish to 12 days you will see a color change. When it has an almost grey/blue transparency, the snails are about the hatch. Just keep an eye on it. The incubator will have enough humidity for the baby snails until you release them into water. Eggs are laid as part of reproductive health, they are not always fertilized
I got 2 gold mystery snails yesterday and I've noticed my mollies will ram into them and knock them off the side of the tank. They don't try to eat them. Is this normal or will this damage them?
Hi Charlee....you should keep the snails separate in their own tank. The mollies will stress them out and the snails might very well stop coming out of there shells to eat. Mollies can be bullies and they might pick at the snails too, causing further stress. A nice 5 gallon filtered tank would be perfect for your two snails.
Rhonda Terry they all adjusted well. The mollies don't bother them any more after the first few days. Everyone is doing well now thankfully. I was worried because I only have one tank so wasn't sure what to do with them if they kept getting attacked. I upped the food for the fish and they are not aggressive anymore.
oh that is wonderful to hear that your mollies are behaving themselves...you probably know this but make sure you drop fresh veggies in to feed your snails. I use spinach, zucchini, carrots and green beans. Also they really benefit from having a direct calcium source to munch on. I keep a cuttle bone in with them at all times. Good luck! One of my girls just laid a clutch! I am hoping for some purple babies....
What do you mean by “called” is that putting the snails down? We have a clutch trying to figure out what to do with ours
I think she meant the word "culled" ?? But yeah i think that means they die. They'll die without their shell anyway
I have watched your video and followed everything you said to do. I have 4 clutches in the floating tupperware as you have showed to do. It has been close to 2 1/2 weeks for the first clutch and they are still not looking mouldy. My aquarium temp is 74-75F. I have a floating breeder box ready to go on stand by for when the time is right.
This being said, at what time should I just break it open?
It is possible that it was a false pregnancy? Could that even happen?
I just want to make sure that they are not going to die.
Your videos are super informative and I enjoy watching them. I really hope you can help or someone else who reads this!
Thank you
-Cat
+Cathy Robidoux they can lay infertile egg clutches
Thank you for taking time time to reply. To be on the safe side, how long should I wait to break them open if I suspect that it is infertile? Or if it is fertile then every time the clutch will look mouldy when its time.
+Cathy Robidoux generally will break them open if they havent hatched by 21 days
Thank you, Merry Christmas
Question here if the snail lay eggs out in the wild . there is no humidity. So then how would they hatch then? I have a net breeder box & i just put the clutch on a little peace of Styrofoam & let. Them do there job. I don't spray them either .
In the wild, they are laid in plants by large water on the edge so the humidity is quite high
@@RachelOLeary thats where im getting confused. Lol how is there humitiy if there out on the open air???
@@kellyporter4527 big bodies of water and plants have a ton of humidity
@@RachelOLeary if im putting in a mesh breeder box in my tank that the other snails are & have the top of that breeding box level with the top on the tank & have the eggs floating on Styrofoam will they still hatch ? Or do i need to. Water mist them ? The top of my tank has a lid that get wet a little. From the. Air stone bubbles.lol
I need help!! I had a ton of babies show up in my tank & now there all gone & the ones I have found aren’t moving at all, is it possible the adult snails have ate the babies??
What do u mean by ... Hardness in the tank?.plz. I have 3 clutches right now.
Thnx a lot :-) 👍 🐌
Hi! My mystery snails are making clutches. I have 2 snails, i was woundering if a female can lay eggs even if they are 2 female in the tank. No babies for sure! But how can i know if my clutches are fertilized ? Thank you! :)
I have had viable cluches even with a single adult snail. They are hemaphrodites and can self fertilize
No, they are sexually specific but females can store sperm for up to 3 or so months
So will adult mystery snails eat their young if you put them in the same tank??
No
hey rachel have you ever kept thai micro crabs?
david w - Rachel has an excellent video on hers.
Hi, I have pics of snail clutches from my blue an gold mystery snails. I made incubators an it's been like 10-12 days an the clutches look the same. Is it because they arent fertile? I have 2 tanks with blue pair in one and gold pair in other. Within 6 days, I ended up with 6 clutches. So they havent changed color. Should I just wait for 3 weeks? Thx for any advice!! Didnt know how to send pics..
I would give them the three weeks. It's possible they are not fertilized
@@RachelOLeary Thx! Finally 2 little babies came out. The other clutches, still nothing yet.
