i have been collecting snail egg masses from a tank that houses mexican turbo , astrea , pacific nassarius , tongan nassarius , tiger nassarius and cerith snails .
i believe the masses are from the cerith snails but i havnt been able to catch them in the act to verify .
every time i find the masses there are mex turbos near them on the glass but i think it may be a coincidence because the masses do not resemble turbo snail eggs that i have seen .
i would like help id'ing the snails i am trying to culture .
here is a shot of the egg mass as it was laid on the glass before collkection
the egg mass after collection
a video of the velligers without magnification after hatch
some magnified stills of the velligers
a video to show locomotion. please excuse the quality this was taken thru my camera phone
the egg masses hatched in 5 days . the velligers in these shots are about 4 days post hatch. no sign of settlement thus far
i have been feeding small amounts of I.A. and combating NH3 with chloram x.
well this is what i have so far .
if i can get an id i will start a journal .
