Ok so I have seen lots of little baby snails around my tank since I had a bunch of big ones. But now it is getting crazy. Last night I started on one side of the tank and started counting all the snails I could see( baby ones not big ones) and got to about 80 and I wasn't even half way across the tank. Not to mention these are the ones I can see so I am sure there are probably twice that hiding in rocks and on the sides I cant see. I have a mix of mexican turbos and a ton of nassarius. I am fairly sure this not a bad thing just wanted to know if anyone has or has had similar experience with this?
Second part....
How long does it take for a snail to reach a decent size, not huge just big enough to grab with my fingers? I m sure it is hard to tell I am just wondering if I am going to have troubles with hundreds of snails in 4-5 months or if they will mostly die off before reaching a mature size.
I am happy though all those babys sure do knock out my hair algae when about a dozen of them come across some.
Thanks in advance
