My Snails are at it Like Rabbits.


See the bubble with the circle and arrow by it? All those little specks are baby snails. Last night, I counted over ten of these little packs all over my tank. Less than five minutes after I had taken this picture, the snails had spread apart and set off to start their lives. That's a pretty fast hatching process, wouldn't you think? And I keep losing count every time I try to count how many snails there are. I'm pretty sure they'll keep my tank sparkly clean, given that they eat algae. I just hope they don't overtake the tank, if that's possible. And I hope they don't bug Jasey either. Both Toothpaste and Zoomacr_m died. I think they didn't eat, they probably hadn't figured out the whole food thing yet in the new environment.

Just thought I'd show you how much fun my snails are having. They aren't boys or girls, so they can mate with any other snail. And they have the necessary stuff so that if they need to reproduce they can do it all by themselves? Odd, right? Eh, and cool at the same time.

Good day.
