All I know is that this has been going on for a while now because they are multiplying. My tank always has a fresh supply of snail babies. This is just the first time I've seen it.

Cool. Love those baby snails. When Margarita Snails did this in my tank, it was in the evening. When the spewed cloud of teeny tiny eggs dispersed it was easy to tell because the eggs are larger than the sperm. They are about the size of brine shrimp eggs. The sperm cloud just looks like smoke.
Aloha, Mark

I tried to send this to some of my buddies but they didn't appreciate it. Mark, this was at night after the lights went out. We aren't so different from the rest the of animal kingdom after all, I guess.
