Did you know that pond snails give live birth? Yup. I woke this morning to 3 pea size baby snails all courtesy of Noémie, The Black Japanese Trapdoor pond snail.
I started out with a few mystery snails but decided against using them in my aquarium because of the potential for overpopulation. The ever so informative pet store person said concerning Apple Snails/Mystery Snails, “With the size of your aquarium you can purchase 10 of these.” WTF? Are you on crack? Thank God I did research before taking her horrible advice. Can you imagine what the tank would look like if I’d added 10 hermaphrodite snails capable of self-fertilization? Oh my goodness! That’s not good! They’d have taken over my tank in a heartbeat.
