Welp, now I have three egg sacks, I have no idea why they don't hatch... I heard it takes six weeks or so, and some may be unfertilized. Any help in hatching these would be appreciated.

I always take mine off the glass and float them on a plastic lid on the water. That way you can also move them around to the tanks you want them in.

I wouldn't mind some purple ones -- I've got gold clutches right now, about 5 or so, two hatched as of right now.

If you leave them on the glass they should eventually fall off into the water and hatch.

Believe it or not I actually had a breeding success... the poor snail died though. It layed eggs on my HOB filter then teetered over the edge of the tank in a free fall to its death. This was the second time it did that and I just didn't catch it this time.

I have several so once they start getting 1" and bigger I'll go back through the thread and figure out who still wants them and in the right order they asked for them. I'm going to keep 5 or so. They are about the size of a tic-tac, I might post some pics later this week.

I counted over 50 the other day, anyone want to stop by and pick some up? They're eating all my algae wafers.
