Baby Sulawesi snails!

Today we where excited to find a bunch of baby Sulawesi White Spotted Rabbit snails!
The White Spotted Rabbits have been in our tanks for about a month now. Apparently soft water with neutral or slightly alkaline pH does them good because they produces quite a bit of babies. About a week ago we had found a baby of a Yellow Spotted Rabbit Snail but we thought that it had come as a hitchhiker with the adults. In this thread you can see how amazing the Yellow Spotted Rabbits look:

If you got Yellow or White Spotted Rabbit snails - watch your tanks, you may have the babies of these cool snails. They do not lay eggs and are what we'd call "livebearing".
The babies act just like the adults - when moved they quickly come out and try to assume normal position. Not a shy snail by no means!

Actually they do lay white eggs on the substrate, most likely you didn't see it
And congrats!!! They look much cuter when they're babies

They are livebearers, even when the baby comes out in what looks like an egg it is fully formed and just needs to get out of the sack, mostly they are born with the sack broken as in this pic.
They do eat algae but not as good as nerites.

Just saw a baby orange today Cutest little thing - only about 1/4 inch long, but he looks exactly like an adult. I'm wondering if there are any more hiding out. But like Niko said, this one is very adventurous - been climbing all over the driftwood I found him on.
