I have had snails before but the other night i saw something that i am not sure what it was I think the snail was trying to mate or something but it was at the top of one of my islands and released out this milky looking substance. due to the flow that i have in my tank it moved it quick and was mixed up pretty fast any ideas as to what was going on would help.

i had some turbo snails reproduce. i actually had a baby snail for a couple days. im sure he was eaten. the fish thought he was as neat as i did

Is that what was going on? because it was just one snail? Not sure how they reproduce haven't done the research on the snails as much as I do my fish guess I shoudl really start since it would give me more knowledge on my ecosystem.

Yep, it was spawning. They do that periodically.

Ok thanks for the input. Never seen it happen before and was just kinda strange to watch. I guess that is a good sign for the tank if they are doing that then?
