or are they one of those snail's that just don't seem to breed in most peoples tanks?

maybe u can try a sand shifting starfish.

I just had a nassarius lay a bunch of eggs on the glass last week. I just got back into town, so I haven't had a chance to see if they've hatched. From my understanding, nassarius don't breed often in captivity but when they do they survive quite well.

I have a 29G skimmerless with a small perc and a-blenny hoping the 8 nassarius will breed do u think the tank is too small 4 them to breed? I've been adding 1/16 th of a tsp of dried cyclopeeze along with the regular perc food

I'm really not too sure what the factors are that are needed to encourage breeding (maybe lots of food?), though I'd be interested to find out. This is the first time I've seen my nassarius lay eggs so we'll have to wait and see if the eggs even make it to the one month mark when they'll hatch.
