obviously you'll need cerith snails to participate in the poll, but comments are welcome from anyone

I'm literally feeding hundreds of them to the puffer in the lab each week with no signs of decreased populations. Just leave them, and you'll soon find yourself with a massive clean-up crew...

Jake, have you tracked how long it takes for them to start hatching?

I've only ever seen the eggs once, and the next day they had disappeared. Most of the time I don't see any eggs, I just know that there's no way anyone added thousands of them to the same tank, or that removing almost 500 each week would not have any effect on their population - unless they were reproducing at very quick rates.

My tank has only been up for 5 months and the cerith's have been laying eggs since shortly after the tank cycled. Only now am I seeing tiny snails.
