I was looking for obvious white cotton looking dots, but never spotted them. Yesterday I spotted these two tiny dots, but thought they were part of the plant, they looked really similar until I seen them move. And today I spotted a third one, with a really, really weird looking shell. And I just seen at the bottom of the aquarium on the gravel a small little clutch of what I think are eggs, maybe no more than 10 or 12 at the most? And they all seem to have small holes at the top. Have they hatched? I wouldn't mind keeping them as long as they can be sexed, but if they get out of hand is it best to give some away? I don't want to kill them. Thanks. IP: Logged

Apple Snails are hermaphroditic, which means they have both male and female reproductive organs. Even though they have both sets of organs they do not self fertilize. There must be two to spawn. What is interesting about this is that while the sperm of one is fertilizing the egg of the other, the others sperm can be fertilizing the egg of the one. Kind of twice the bang for the buck so to speak. In buying two Apple Snails you don't get one mated pair, you get two mated pairs. IP: Logged
