Baby Snails

[Chago09]

Ok I have I think about a dozen mexican turbos in my tank. I have noticed the last three or four mornings there are hundreds of tiny little white snails on teh glass. I only see them in the morning though. Obvioulsy my snails have spawned. Although are these guys dieing is that why I only see them in the morning?? is there a new batch every morning. Or do they hide during the day?? I never knew this could even happen so I'm kinda shocked to see baby snails everywhere.

More than likely you're seeing adult Collonista rather than baby Turbo. You only see them in the morning because they're nocturnal.

Those are much more likely to be Collonista sp. snails, which are very common hitchhikers that don't get bigger than about what you see. They're nocturnal and often number in the hundreds when the population is doing well. A harmless grazer, but unfortunately you won't likely be selling a bunch of turbos in the future.

edit; I should type faster. ;)
