    [​IMG] she laid eggs in two different spots, is there anything i need to do to make them hatch and grow safely? There is only one conch so are the eggs even fertilized?

    Snail babies are planktonic for about a month.It is doubtfull they will survive in your system that long to drop but anything is possible.Assuming of course they are fertile.How long have you had it? If its a relatively new aquisition it is possible but you would need a male for that.
    There is nothing you can do except stop using mechanical filtration after they hatch.Your chances though are slim ime. Snails can be like rabbits.:biggrinbounce::looking:
