    The snails were in my 10 breeding gallon tank. The other inhabitants are 5 galaxies.

    The one still alive I only bought a few weeks ago and was small compared to the other ones there so I figured it was younger. It seemed fine and healthy till after I saw the babies.

    They eat algae with a relish, snd there’s plenty enough of that in the tank. There is also many different plants in there if they had a liking for them, which, thankfully, they don’t.

    I’m 99% sure they’re Brig

    My java moss is wedged at the bottom of the tanks between other plants. It doesn’t float off. It should be fine unless it’s really close to the filter or your filter is super strong…Which probably ain’t good for those fry.

    Aww, now you’re making me jealous…

    I’m still waiting for babies from my galaxies. Waiting, waiting, waiting… :(

    I was thinking a 10 gallon would be to big, but frankly a 10 is cheaper than a 5. :) Not that I mind, but where to put the thing is the problem. :?

    Thanks Jimbo, but I’ve pretty much ruled out planaria. It’s some other kind of worm. The shape of these things is much different than that of a planaria. These are more “sectiony”. I dunno how to put it.

    Anyway, the good news is that there seem to be fewer and fewer of them around.

    More plants, especially grasslike, low ones would be helpful. My galaxies also seem to really like java moss I put down close to the sand.

    Yeh, waiting sucks. Mine have been all colorful and dancing around and chasing each other for weeks, but still no fry. All I can do now is peer around the tank hopefully every time I get a chance.

    Hey katkin, the opaque eggs might just be unfertilized eggs.
    Sounds promising. Hope you get babies. :)

    Well I guess living up North where the temperature goes way down at night and there’s a possibility of snow falling ( even freak ones in the middle of summer ) every month of the year biases my opinion. :)

    It sounds interesting though. I’d love to see pictures of yours if you get the chance.

    I don’t know the perfect ratio, but my aquarium has 2 males to 3 females. If I had planned on breeding them when I got them I would probably have gotten 2 males, 4 female instead, but I ain’t getting any more. Back when I got them, I didn’t know they got them from the wild, and that their habitat was being destroyed. :(

    Personally I don’t think it’s a good idea. Unless, of course you live somewhere a lot like Mynamar…

    Temperature, lighting, organisms in the tank etc. can be much better controlled indoors. These are, after all, tropical fish, not goldfish or koi.
