Snails lay between 30 and 140 eggs at a time; When they do reproduce in saltwater it is generally in water very close to being briny. The reproductive cells will swim until they are received by other snails' apertures.

These Snails Exchange Male Sperm Which They Then Use To Fertilize Their Eggs.


From what i have learned from experience and from aquarium experts, it is almost impossible for two different species of snails to mate and reproduce, so nerite and mystery snails. The male snail crawls onto the shell of the female snail and holds her shell with his foot during the fertilization process. Yes, snails can reproduce asexually as there are hermaphrodite snails that carry both male and female organs.

If You Want Your Snails To Breed, Try Lowering The Water Level A Few Inches To Make Room For Them To Lay Eggs.


Do you know that one of the beauties and joy of having aquarium is to have snails in it, but this do need a careful procedures because some snails are pest, so that you don’t end up trying to curtail them, due to the fact that many of them reproduce asexually and could reproduce in large numbers. Breeding mystery snails and eggs the male and female will mate without any help or altered tank conditions. The reason is their short life span of five to seven years, allowing for a faster growth rate of the species.

Snails Can Refuse To Mate With Another Snail Of The Same Species That Originated From A Considerable Distance Away.


Many hobbyists will purchase snails specifically to be kept in an aquarium environment because of their ability to reproduce asexually. My stomatellas reproduce quite well and i don’t try at all. All other snails in the tank (at least that i have introduced) do not have a similar appearance.

Many Snails Are Asexual And Can Breed With Themselves, But Mystery Snails Aren’t One Of Them.


These snails have two genders, male and female. The reproductive cells will swim until they are received by other snails' apertures. Is my mystery snail male or female?

They Will Either Have Female Or Male Reproductive Parts (Not Both) And Will Only Reproduce After Mating.


Snails that possess both male and female sex organs also copulate. So, how do mystery snails mate? When they do reproduce in saltwater it is generally in water very close to being briny.
