Congrats. Now you have lots of "trade-bait"

You should post here when the babies are ready to be re-homed. I would love to get some tank-raised Tonga Nassarius snails. They are awesome in seahorse tanks for cleaning up uneaten food.

I would love to do that! However because there isn't any information about breeding them, let alone raising them... I really have no idea what their growth rate is going to be.

I will take some photos of them tonight with a magnifying glass.... if I can find one. (Where do they sell them?)

It was very encouraging watching them eat the pellets I dropped in yesterday! Im excited to see how this goes

I have about 4 or 5 adults in that tank. They are ALWAYS laying eggs on the glass! I always just left them there, hoping maybe one in the thousands would survive. Good luck I guess!

I also had some that layed eggs about 2.5 months ago and then sure enough i saw the little babys with there pokie things all over the glass and sand. I would say i have about 30 babies i guess..As soon as i feed the tank they all come out of the sand...In 2 months they are now about 1/2 inch i guess.....I only started with 4 of them as we'll.

Isnt it exciting when you accidently accomplish something you should be able to do? lol. Sounds like they grow very quickly, what are you feeding yours?

They u are hitting the algae clip at night as my lawnmower blennie is a slow eater And then as soon as the mysis hits the water they are all out of the sand.

It is very cool i must say and gotta like the free clean up crew....I have started taking them out of the cube and putting them in the 90 so they have more food...

I turn all the flow off in my tank as i feed the nems at the same time. So what the clowns dont catch falls to the sand and they just go nuts....

I will try and get a few pics of mine as we'll and then it will show you the size of them now...
