Snails, how how long do they live?

Does any one know how Long Turbo Snails live? My big snail I had for almost three years just died. It was ½” when I got him and he grew to a 2” Diameter, big snail! He survive many problems w/ my two clowns, including a 115F heater malfunction. Now I have a very stable tank and I am surprise to see him gone.

 

here is a website i found:www.petco.com/assets/articles/caresheets/pdf/aqsturbosnail052503.pdf+snail+life+turbo+span&hl=en&ie=UTF-8]Turbo Snails[/url]

 

My three turbos have been around for 3 years.

 

how long do nassasirus snails live.

 

I don't think nassarius snails would live as long as turbos. They're just not as large or as sturdy, but at least nassarius snails do breed. I think nassarius snails are the coolest,but when it comes to eating algae you just can't beat a turbo.

 

how can u get the snail to breed. It probley has to be done in a refuge, right.

 

mine are constantly breeding in the tank, but as of yet there are no baby snails. The babies would probably live in a fuge. I have three nassarius snails in my fuge, but i haven't seen any eggs. Hopefully i'll se some soon.

 

does something eat them.

 

I'm not sure if something eats them or if they're just hiding in the sand bed.

 

but if there hiding then wont they still hatch.
