Apple snails

by Alasse

I recently purchased 2 of these awesome snails, Gary and Xena (no i cant tell them apart *L*). I'm going to set them up in their own tank eventually, though at present they are in with my angels.

I was feeding them and the angels tonight and i spy eggs! I hope the little guys make it, dunno how they'll go with the angels in there, but fingers crossed

Pics to come

I will be setting up a tank for them today or tomorrow, the eggs will stay in here for now as i dont really want to move them at this stage.

The angels will be moving out either today or tomorrow.

No algae on glass here. They do however enjoy cleaning up the dead plant leaves, so i love em for that *L*

Dunno how this batch of eggs will go, i forgot, while i was moving the angels out, to put the glass lid back and the humidity dropped, so they dried out somewhat, not fully mind, but anyway will see how they go. I want to scape this tank, but i'll wait a week or so to see if they make it, if not will try again i'm sure
