Anentome Helena (Assassin Snail)

[Mirobilly]

So ... I'm with these five guys more than 6 months and so far no eggs, creates, nothing!
I was with them in the aquas I create an RC, and was suspicious that the brats were eating their eggs ...
Another suspicion would not be creating a low temperature, since you keep my aqua at 23 ° C

So this week moved them to a pot of their own and with higher temperature 27 ° C to see if I can get something!

Any tips?

Sorry for my bad google translate english

My snails got he aquarium full of eggs, but I didn't see any little snail yet :/
I think temperature at 23ºC is fine; you'll probabliy get some eggs during summer. Once they start you can't stop them

- an. helena has typical egg in cube gel wrap/casing
- after hatching small snails dig into substrate and reveal in AQ after few weeks/months

More here I found no eggs! Can you tell me what the ideal temperature for breeding them?

[Summit MicroFarm]

Generally I find that both temp and amount of available food. I think there must be ample food for little snalis before the adults are triggered to reproduce.

Hello! I breed my Helena from about 8 months with four males and four females. From 8 Helena, now I have about 300. To breed them you have to respect some things:
- Medium hard water for shell formation (addition of calcium);
- You have to have the male and female (these snails have sex);
- The average temperature is 24 * c (needed for the hatching of eggs);
- Should be given live food (I administer planobarius red).

Hello Maxg !!

Hello, Miro. Distinguish between male and female, and 'very difficult. If the tank are the two sexes definitely see copies attached to each other sometimes more 'than twelve hours.
The male is positioned on the right than the female.
If your Helena did not exhibit this behavior, and 'very likely that you or all male or all female.
To make sure the tank, at least, a male and a female must be at least six Helena.
Let me know, hello.

You only need 1 assassin snail and it will reproduce. I have tested it myself. From 1 baby snail to now about 7.
