    Does anyone know how long it takes nassarius snail eggs to hatch?

    The last batch of eggs i saw in my tank took about 3 days, but no baby nassarius. I'm guessing they probably got eatin or maybe they're just too small to see, and they're buried in the sand bed. Maybe one day i'll see little baby snails

    I can try to post a pic. I'll have to borrow someones digital camera though. So give me a little while. I have no clue what eats them. Maybe the cleaner shrimp. They may all be alive just hiding in the sandbed.
