So a few months back I posted a thread on this forum asking if it was possible to breed tonga nassarius snails, because I found mine had some eggs on the glass, I was eager and curious.
A few people on the forum explained that even though they are laying eggs, which they will regularly, perhaps 1 out of thousands may survive! Basically it wasnt going to happen.
Terrible odds I thought, ok well just don't worry about it then
so tonight Im about to go to sleep, and I decide to take a peek in my tank to see what could be lurking in the dark (its only a 20G but you never know)
I look in to see a few random little snails on the glass, then I take a closer look, They resemble tonga super nassarius snails! No way! I couldn't believe what I was seeing!
It gets better...
I decide that perhaps they are maybe a random hitch hiker snail, that I cant get too excited about, so I throw some hermit crab pellets into the tank... that was when they came out...
In 10 mins I saw about about 200 - 2mm tonga nassarius snails crawl out from sand and head straight towards the pellets.
Not only was it improbable that they could survive... but they are thriving!!!! I had to tell someone!
P.S. I tried to take photos, but I dont have a super camera like many of you! lol so the photos didnt work out. Thanks for reading though!
I am now almost over run with baby super tonga nassarius snails!!!
