Don't girl snails need boy snails to fertilize their eggs?

Nope - Cerith snails are Hermaphrodites.

Congrats! That's a sign that your snails are happy, they will serve as free food for the tank.

I have at least a hundred cerith snails so I basically have a line of eggs somewhere in my tank at all times. I'm not sure exactly what the survival rate is, but I see little cerith snails motoring around all the time so at least some percentage of them survive.

They actually just laid more on the wall, ill add a picture in a bit. The baby ceriths will actually be good food for my dragonete who easts pods. Also glad to see that my tank is thriving. I have tons of microlife and im almost done with my algea cycle (im on the cyano stage rn). Also added my first sps and its doing amazing and i already see growth after a week!
