Thanks Rachel! Your timing on this video is perfect, I found eggs this morning, I'm a first timer so this is very helpful.
Did yours hatch ?
I will do an update video when I have baby snails to show you guys :)
What critter really made your hobby turn into an obsession?

Mine had to be the panther crab lol I'm going to have to get me some of these eventually
My hobby turned into an obsession is ball pythons currently. I have 8, 1 of them adopted from a family driving through town in an RV that got a flat. LoL! It's been crazy fun to learn everything I can. I grew up with fish in the house as a kid, kind of miss having a tank. So watching you with your business, really helps with the lack of a tank of my own.

Rachel O'leary does toiolet paper work?
any update videos on the snail babies?
Rachel O'leary you are the most useful TH-camr, analyze every parameter every single video in a Perfect way so that everyone can understand ! Love u ! Continue like that!
I’ve hatched 250+ snails with this exact method I learned from you, I’ve thrown so many purple nerite cutches away because I couldn’t get them to hatch. This way has had a 100% success rate with three or so cutches in the past two months.
Thank you for this! I'm getting ready to be a first time apple snail grandma and this was super helpful!
woke up to find my FIRST clutch today!! =D came right here to see what to do. Thank you for your tremendous wealth of knowledge and your desire to share and help us grow as responsible aquarium hobbyist!!
Darn you Rachel! I was watching you other snail video from yesterday and I myself have two mystery snails. I thought, hmm I definitely need to check for clutches soon to toss out any of them I see. Come home from college classes today and what do i see? Babies. lol, great video!
I just found eggs in my tank I'm really excited but also very nervous. I'm glad I found this video thank you!
my Betta Chuck started it, but years of web surfing, and the youtubers I follow have really grown the hobby for me. your spot lights have decided what has gone into many tanks 😊
My girl just laid her first clutch! Thank you so much for this info!
My girl? They're both girl and boys whenever they wanted to be.
This helped me out today as I just noticed a pink sack and this is my very first community tank. This is exciting for me and my family.
Congrats!!
My snails just laid their first clutch super excited!
Most informative and I’ve watched many videos. Thank you
Thanks mate, I just got my first clutch and it's mahoosive, all the eggs are bright pink. Thanks for the care guide.
I've seen apple snail love...Oh boy ...in my thank :P ... And I've had the opportunity of actually growing out baby apple snails, and incubated them, similar to your method. I had 100's of them hatch of just one clutch! Later, they grew to about the size of a large marble. They do grow fast! So, I had to donate them to my LFS because I didn't have the room :) The few that I kept are now happy in my tank and still growing.
How long does it take from newly laid egg to adult size?
That depends on temperature and diet
Ok, thanks Rachel ;-)xo
Thanks Rachel! 1st of seven clutches have hatched today... here we go!!!
+G Martin woohoo
I wondered many times what I did wrong all those years back. I just couldn't get a pod to hatch so I stopped trying and gave my snails away. Now I know.... thanks
Great video again Rachel!
I want Applesnails now! haha!
Whaat?!! Almost 30,000 subscribers!
*_Keep up the good work and thumbs up!_*
+Danny's Aquariums thanks!
I had a small clutch hatch today, suddenly, within an hour or so. The adults were below the clutch as they hatched. Do the adults eat the babies as they hatch? 😢 I saw a few tiny babies, smaller than I was expecting, all with a white transparent shell and a darker button in the middle of the whorl. Is that usual? My snails aren't that color (gold, or brown, or purple, or magenta) so I am looking forward to seeing what color they are.
I just wanted you know that my first snail eggs hatched. Because of your method. Thank you so much.
Woohoo!!! Congrats!!
As always, I love your videos. I had seen this video a few months back and was able to come back to get the information again on how to properly incubate as I found a clutch today in one of the tanks at my job and was given permission to take the clutch home to try to hatch them
best of luck!
That is a true fish pimp technique. Never had a humidity problem because all my tanks have lids, but if I ever wanted to breed them again that would be a really cool way to do it.
Very glad I found this :) yesterday I found our first clutch!!! Very excited so see our babies!
Congrats!!
Found the snail 🐌 caviar a few days ago . Thanks 🙏 for the video
So informative. I had apple snails, before the internet (22 years ago). I ended up putting the 3rd set of eggs in a mayonnaise jar, babies hatched, weren’t eaten, but then I had to find homes for 40 or more snails 🐌 ❤️
😂😂😂😂
So nice
Love love love your videos my snails just gave me a clutch I'm pretty excited
I just hatched my first clutch of Mystery Snails, and your video was very helpful. I have a bunch of baby snails in my little breeder box.
So glad it helped
Years ago I bought a blue apple snail. It was nickel-sized at the time. It reached the size of a quarter and began laying eggs. I suspected that they would be infertile, but I was wrong...I ended up with lots of tiny blue snails. 😀
ah that persnickety storing of sperm!
I read that snails are I think asexual so they are a boy and a girl *sjw’s cheer in support* so they can fertilise their own eggs!
@@lauchlanstill6677 Some are. Mystery snails are not. You need a male and female to have babies.
Lucky you ! I wish I could find a blue or purple one.
@@summerwinters1315 I got mine online. It was the first living thing I decided to try having shipped. I was nervous, but he got here safely. And it's not expensive. I forget where I got mine now, but I've seen them on Amazon.
Only neg thing is that on anything smaller than a TV.. Cannot see small details you show us.
Liked this and other vids! ❤🎯
What is a good first food for apple snails??
Thx Rachel!
Very informative Tutorial & may as well saved a lot of baby snails! Thank You So Much Rachel & Stay Safe & World Peace! 🖖♥️🌷🕯
thank goodness I watched this! first time with apple snails and my adult ivory and stripped popped the biggest sac!
congrats!
Awesome video! Very informative n helpful. I just had my 1st clutch but however…it it fell into the tank. It wasn’t in there too long….soooo I’m hopeful it’s still a viable clutch! 🤞🤞….🐌🐌🐌🐌
Hope your foot is doing better Rachel. Great video on snails.👍👍👍
Ty for the help👍💯 love your videos they are very helpful. Just found my 1st clutch today 😁
Rachel I have 8 clutches and maybe 6 before that. I am using a wet paper towel in a plastic container. I didn't punch holes and I just let the lid sit on the top kinda turned so the air can get in. I only have about 20 snails that have hatched. So many clutches...hundreds of eggs.
What am I doing wrong? They sit there and after a couple days leak out yellow fluid and stain the wet paper towel. They looked dry on top so I dribbled water over them maybe 2-3 times in a week
How did you find out to just pop off the clutch? Did you read about it.....someone tell you how to do it? I've learned a lot from other people and just adjusted to my situation thru the short time I've been back in the hobby. I use to have tanks about 20+ years ago, things have changed so I'm learning new things! Thanks Rachel.
+Catherine Kennedy I just tried it years ago and it worked
Nice. I never seen apple snails. Can't wait for them to hatch and grow
Thank you Rachel!! I've been waiting for this one. 4 clutches recently deposited and now it is time to Fish Pimp the heck out of 'em! Love all the great info you provide.
Woo Hoo! Your snail hatching trick worked for me! I came home and checked the container and the little ones were everywhere. Thank you so much for all your informative vids!
+Okie Rogue hurray!!!
It works!!! Hatched 300 mystery gold from my first clutch.
Thank you thank you! I can always count on your knowledge. My mystery snail just laid her clutch and I had no clue what to do. Hopefully I get some baby snails!
Alright Listen~Up you guys! Baby snails Can Drown if the Water Level covered their Eggs before their Time to Hatch! Thank You So Much Rachel for the Life Saving Tutorial! 🕯♥️🌷
Hi Rachel! Love all your videos... you literally have a video for just about every question I come up with! Finally got around to subscribing. Thanks again for taking the time to help others interested in fishkeeping :) take care~!
thankyou Rachel I loved this video ..love your snails
I just bought two blue snail today ....my fist time ever keeping them...so I'm binge watching your videos for help...I never knew snails could drowned?...
Yep! They breathe air. Do you ever see that weird tentacle thing come out of your snail? That's its air siphon, it's like a snorkel
I have 2 clutches now. Hope they hatch. I'm so happy!😊 thank you for the videos.and info.
What size tank do I need to grow out 2 clutches of snail eggs from my Mystery snail? Thanks... right now she's in a 10 gallon...which is fine if that would work until they at least got 'pluckable' size for rehoming.
I have a clutch and found a few hatched but they arent moving at all. Does it take awhile for them to get going?
Thanks for the video.... I plan on following this closely since I have now have 3 clutches and I want to hatch them
Please help ..
I wasn't able to find too much research they didn't give me an exact answer that I need.
But..
I have a really big apple snail and it laid a whole bunch of pink reddish eggs.
Are they already fertilized?
Or do they just turn whitish grayish when they muture??
The eggs are out of water under the glass lid.
There's plenty of moister.
Anything else I need to do to get these lil fellas to hatch?
Is there a circumstance where you could leave the clutch? If you watch the water level and kept ur the same? Or, could you actually float the clutch on the styrofoam in the breeder box from the start? If there is enough moisture? I have so many questions, hehe. I love these little creatures.
You can certainly leave them if the tank has high humidity (well fitting lid).
This really was easy Rachel ... very cool indeed 🤗🤗✅
Was this a viable clutch? Or have you hatched any since? Tbh, i've never owned any snails because i'm always scared of having a snail overload. In my planted tanks I've always used tissue cultured plants or the ones that say pest free because of my fear. I know that sounds ridiculous esepcially with certain species that don't reproduce so fast and not having a constant food source for them to reproduce so quickly. One of my friends had a huge "pest" snail problem in his planted tank because of his over feeding. Lately, i've been wanting to set up another planted tank and this type of snail would be great since it doesn't eat healthy plants and I can just remove clutches I don't necessarily want.
Awesome video Rachel
my golden mystery snail just laid a clutch at the top of my aquarium and I'm trying to figure out the best way to hatch and take care of them. So now when you say apple snail, do you actually mean the apple snails we catch in ponds and lakes here on the east coast that are always dark colored (either dark brown or black never saw a different color than that in the wild) and grow to actually be the size of a small apple 🍎 or are you talking about the mystery snails (cause I know alot of people also call them apple snails)? I'm just wondering because I don't want this to be specifically for one type of snail and I kill the whole clutch by doing trying it with my mystery snail eggs.
Hi ive just placed my eggs into an incubator but when I float them in the tank my light sits over them? Worried they will dry out or will they be fine? Thank you 😊
This might be old but extremely helpful to me. Thank you so much. I have 2 clutches and I hope one of them is viable. Much love to the fish pimp.
good luck with the clutches!
@@RachelOLeary in fact I woke up to, two more clutches. Under my filter. Unfortunately I do not have a cover for my tank 😢
Will these snails do alright with Guppies and Neocaridina shrimp? I remember you mentioning fish going after their antennae. I don't know if the guppies would be big enough to bother them.
Trick I picked up from Cory from aquarium co-op, tums. At first I didn't think it was doing anything, but once my snails figured out what it was they would eat about 1/16 to 1/8 of a tum per day for about a week. I have 3 so I'd just put in a 1/4 of one which was enough for a day or two, but I'd wait a day or two then put in a new piece... holy cow. The snails have doubled in size in 1 month, from about 3/4 of an inch to almost 2, and they've just laid eggs (why I looked up this video). You put tums in for the babies they'll have the nicest smoothest shells and they'll be huge in just a few months.
Showed my husband the vid. "Ewww grosssss!!" Hahaha to which I replied "you're such a boy!" 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
do you need to float them in the tank?
I love your shirt!! I recently got into cherry shrimp and theyre such funny little guys xD
I just had a hatch out using this method, thanks! At what point should I move them into the tank? Any particular method?
+KW East I put them on a floating breeder trap until they are pea sized
Will do, thanks!
Do you have to float them???
So if I leave a clutch in with the adult snails when it hatches the adults won't hurt them at all?
That is correct
very cool info! thank you so much! I've been trying to hatch them naturally but within a few days the clutch gets knocked into the water during the night and I find it in the morning too late to save them... :(
Hi, great videos! I think I'm going to try just spot gluing the egg case to the top of the breeder trap. High humidity* and over the water. *If too high on the humidity, I have drills for bigger holes :). Thanks for all the great ideas :)!
Hi Rachael would clean chucks. Wipes work the same?
what is ur best best tip for Removing them? I got alot in my shrimp tank dont want to use the bottle technick or the letuce way and. no poison either and I olso dont overfeed , might be bitching to much lol but there must be some way they go away.
using a glass to feed the shrimp on olso would not work sry for.my bad english hope u can help me your awesome
apple snails breed so slow and cant miss there eggs....should be easy as pie to pick them out....unless you got pond snails they suck
Leaving the water level high should prevent snails from laying eggs right? Btw the tats are sick yo!
No, they will just try to escape to lay
I have several inches water low from top of tank. My mystery snail climbed and laid her eggs on the inside of tank hood. The cluster was on 11/11/19. This is my 1st experience seeing this.
What do I do after this? What should I do after they get the moldy color you mentioned?I just got two clutches of eggs and don't want them to die.
They are ready to hatch at that point (or within days). I like to crack them open into a hanging breeder box, or you can let them erupt naturally and then add them to the aquarium.
I know the video is older, but I'm just wondering: if the clutch had been hanging on the side of the tank for about a week, is it too late to switch to a container?
No. Just be careful as it may be quite brittle
Hello Rachel. I woke up this morning to find my first egg clutch and I am going to incubate them after 48 hours to be on the safe side. I have a 10 gallon aquarium I going to raise the baby snails in. I bought net breeder from petco to put them in when they start to hatch. Will the be able to move around well in them or should I put them in the tank without it. I am new to snail owning so any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
They move aroudn right away- the hardest part is keeping things clean when they are in the tank, which is why I like keeping them in a breeder box until they are about pea-sized- makes keeping things clean WAY easier.
Rachel O'Leary Do you have any suggestions to what brand of breeder box to use? Would the net kind work that is what I bought at store?
That should be just fine honestly
Rachel O'Leary Thank you. That is what I will do than.
I have a question, what tank size do you recommend? Will they do good with bristle nose plecos? And how many babies would you get out of 1 snail in a month? Great video and I love your shirt!
+Aqua • Passionate they need about 2.5g per snail of tank space. Should be fine with ancistrus.
Rachel O'leary thanks so much soon I'll be putting one in my 10 gal and maybe some in my 20 again, thank you
Love mystery snails and your info.
Hi Rachel,
I hope you can help me. I bought a new magenta apple snail from ebay. It's so soooo tiny, like 1/2 the size of a very small pea. They told me to go ahead and put her in my 10gl tank. But Now I can't even find her. How do I know if she's eating? If I find her should I put her in a smaller container?
I lost seeing my zebra snail.
Was cleaning my aquarium and found it hiding behind the filter. Zebra snails are very tiny and stay small.
If I wanted to breed mystery snails could I do it in a ten gallon? If so how many would I want to start off with... also just a off topic question but would they eat lettuce if submerged? Thank you- Fish in the corner
Start off with 5-10. later you should see clutches everywhere. Good luck.
..... Thank you Rachel...... Very helpful... Keep going girl... We love you! :-)
Could you please tell what floating breeder box you recommend?
Hi Rachel,
is there any special tips on asolene spixi eggs?
Noticed my first clutch today and have never had it happen before so any advice is much appreciated. :)
those I leave where they lie, as they are underwater. The yield of young is not as high with those. You could put them in a floating box, as availability to food for the hatched babies seems to be an issue.
Thank you.
:) I'll see how they do in a separate tub or tank.
👍
Thank you so much this video was super easy! I'm gonna breed my mystery snails I've been looking for a good way, your seems great I'm definitely gonna try it!
mine love to lay there eggs behind the hang on the back filter...so i don't always catch when they're laid ..so i use plexiglass tops with vent holes to keep moisture in. a good tip to new people that want to breed apple snails....don't fill your tanks up all the way they like an inch or 2 above the waterline to lay the clutch
Ours just laid their first clutch, what breeder box would you recommend we use once they hatch?
Any will do honestly, its just so they can get to a size where its easier to clean around the m
Could you post a link to the floating breeder trap you hatch your eggs into...
I have a tank with only mystery snails. They breed like crazy but I'm leaving the eggs in since there are no fish in the tank. The question I have is if some of the egg clusters fall in the water can I leave it there? I know that the eggs will drown but can it be used as a source of calcium for the others to feed on?
Yes
Very interesting ,thank you Rachel.
Where can i watch the part 2 of this video? Can you gimme a link
So I just had a pair of gold inca snails lay a HUGE clutch. I am super excited about it, but I don't know where I'm going to put them all. I live in central MA, and the tempt outside is pretty steadily around 70 during the day right now. Would these snails be able to survive outside in an old 55gallon tank or stock tub?
Oh your so COOL !!!! thanks for posting. I will do as. you say. Tks
Thank you very much for the instruction! I will try your method.
I know this is from months ago, but did you ever do a follow up? can't find it. I have a clutch from a young nail right now that appeared overnight. I've never had snails until now so I would like to hatch as many as possible, but then what do I do with them when they hatch lol get video btw.
no, i dropped the ball on footage. memory card got corrupted. When they hatch, you put them into the tank you want to raise them in. If you mean what do you do with 200 snails- that I cannot answer except get more tanks
Hey Rachel, I could have sworn you did a species spotlight on bumblebee gobies but I can't find it anywhere.... Maybe I'm imagining things? It would be cool if you covered them when you get the chance :)
+Angellus Black I will at some point!
I know you said the color changes when they're about to hatch, but I'm still having a hard time telling if my eggs are fertilized. It looks like they are turning the moldy looking blackish gray color but I'm horrible at being able to tell. How do I know for sure?
The egg casing itself will appear much thinner and become quite brittle as the baby snails grow and are ready to emerge.
Great tips, thank you so much!
Love your videos!
that was really informative, thank you!
Do i need a filter and a air pump for my snails?
Hi there, we’ve found our apple snails have laid bright pink eggs but when we tried to remove them as per your video they just broke with pink fluid coming out, does that mean its too early?
Appreciate your help
I wait a day or even two, and I do use a razor blade. Eliminates possibility of killing a bunch of them because they were too fragile
Hi, Is it true that a scuttle fish bone in the tank provides calcium for them
Nominal amounts
Love apple snails but in the UK they're really hard to come by because they recently became illegal to import and I think sell. They've become too invasive here apparently.
we couldn't see the blue snail :(
3 years ago I added 4 apple snails... 2 years after I had a complete plague of apple snails in my 600 L. aquarium. I didn't know what to do with them, besides many of them where dying because of the lack of food. I started to give them away. I didn't even plan that :O
Salamander Fangskin , fresh escargot.
@Bengal Ghost xD
Hi Rachel, just one point of confusion for me. Will snails breed if they are different colors, or will say only yellows breed with yellows and purples with purples?
Yes, they are not discriminatory!
