I like my "pest" snails to a point. sometimes they breed so fast I have to take adults and let them go in a pond and I let the babies grow up. Another thing I find interesting is I never actually see my snails lay, their eggs just appear
really, you let pest snails go in a pond? that's one of the most environmentally irresponsible thing i've ever heard. have you never learned about invasive species and how damaging they are for an ecosystem?
Adrian is correct, and you guys aren't taking this seriously enough. Invasive species wreak havoc and are largely part of the mass extinction event currently taking place. Please pull your heads out of your buts. You kids or grandkids may come along and read your comments one day. smh
@@tobythetoaster1086 That's good to hear lol. I hope nobody else is offloading their apple snails, or any other non-native species into our economy. Where I'm at we're dealing with the havoc that Asian jumping worms are causing to the soil. I mean BIG trouble for the local economy. From the mushrooms to the trees, messes everything up. Take care T3✌
Hey mate, I've some eggs in my aquarium too! But after three days little white worms where starting to terrorice my little aquarium, at 0:40 I see you're haveing one too, in the gelly stuff right down corner. But I have a lot of them, I think 30-40+? Are they harmfull? Thanks!
I'm extremely extremely late at this reply, but knowledge is always good. Esp if you're still I'm the hobby of aquarium keeping. These little white worms are detritus worms. They're harmless to fish and other life in the aquarium, but being worms, they're unsightly and definitely considered pests. A good gravel vacuuming and water change can get rid of MOST of them but if you're wanting to get rid of all, better to completely break the tank down, and put in new gravel.
Those are not baby snails. They're the larvae of what's called detritus worms. If you watch the video again really closely, at about 0:40 there is a tiny white worm in the bottom corner of the gel in which the eggs are encased. They're harmless to fish and other live in the aquarium, but being worms, they're rather unsightly and definitely considered pests. They live in the gravel bed and reproduce like crazy. The little white dots all over the glass are their larvae.
as someone who has them as pets, i can confirm they are indeed pests. bought a plant from the pet store and didn't quarantine it first, resulting in a tiny pond snail finding his way into my goldfush tank. he was small but too big for my fish to eat so i left him there. next thing i know he's laying several egg sacks a week. i moved the goldfish out of the tank and (stupidly) took the original snail with them. next think i know both tanks are being over run with babies. i finally got myself a tank specifically for these little guys and i now have HUNDREDS but i still have some sneaking around 3 out of my 5 other tanks. trust me, they're pests😂😂
Welcome.. 😃😃😃💚💚💚
One of my large common pond snails laid a batch of eggs with about 50 babies in it
I have egg clutches of pond snails!
i just found 2 egg batches like this in my shrimp tank ... what do i do? they bother NOTHING ...
Do you know the name of this species?
My eggs ain’t that big. Will my Plecos eat the eggs or when they’re hatchlings

@@SE0ULsearching oh wow. Well that's cool. Live and let live.
How long do they take to hatch?
I’m guessing about a few weeks or so but idk
Around 28 days, I think
My hatch after just a week. Though some are taking a bit longer.
10 to 20 days depending on the temperature
@@xXdutchieeeXx what temperature is the best for snail eggs?
*me who did not want to breed my snails*
so yeah. Ineed to take of atleast- im still gonna count it.
Pond snails are worse than ramshorn snails they breed just as fast but their eggs hatch in half the time
Mine take forever to hatch I’ve had a batch of eggs that they’re still fertile but haven’t hatched in a month
Tore down entire tank cause of these bastages
Not only that pond snail can lay up to 100 eggs!!
But rams horn snail only lay around 12 eggs
That tiny little worm thing is that a snail?
Egg go spinny spin i like my pest snails ramshorn and bladder they are cute
are they all ready fertilized when there layed?
Tetra Aquariums yes
Oh but how did i not notice that in my tank
I have a question...Those active little dots in the background squirming around are they baby snails?

Why are these guys considered pest
as someone who has them as pets, i can confirm they are indeed pests. bought a plant from the pet store and didn't quarantine it first, resulting in a tiny pond snail finding his way into my goldfush tank. he was small but too big for my fish to eat so i left him there. next thing i know he's laying several egg sacks a week. i moved the goldfish out of the tank and (stupidly) took the original snail with them. next think i know both tanks are being over run with babies. i finally got myself a tank specifically for these little guys and i now have HUNDREDS but i still have some sneaking around 3 out of my 5 other tanks. trust me, they're pests😂😂
@@maddyc7369 I just buy brown substrate and pretend they don't even exist lol
Because they can easily take over a whole aquarium if given the chance
Yeah but what's the problem with them taking over an aquarium? They don't kill fish or other stuff do they? Or DO they?
How many days to hatch eggs completed any one know
my pond snails just had eggs
Probably ramshorn snails
