[I agree with Scott - my snails did that last week.]

 

[mwolek]

[How long did you guys have your snails before that happened? Goign to try avoiding fish until I get some more snails, hopefully the natural way ]

 

[melev]

[I got some last week, first time in all the years I've kept my tanks. Two days later they vanished. I don't know if they hatched or were dinner.]

[Back when I kept the tank walls more pristine, I would get snail eggs happening with every major water change...the egg trail would usually last several days until they were loosened by the currents from the Wavemaster and then they would eventually detach and disappear.
From what I've read, the newly hatched snails are much like plankton, staying in the water column (= lunch) for the fish and filter feeders. With luck and sufficient egg trails, I have seen fair numbers of young snails on the sides of the tank...]
