I thought I would ask the nice folks here too, ive made my post on snails2die4 and waiting for a reply. At work today I discovered a deposit of brig snail eggs, same species as the babys I adopted. I only work there once a week, so I have no idea how long they have been there, but they certainly wern't there last week so at the MOST they are 6 or 7 days old.
In theory they had the perfect hatching enviroment (aside the hungry goldfish below them) because it was a glass lid that kept in the humidity very well. Are they suposed to be a little hard? I have never seen/touched brig eggs before, so im worried they've somehow hardened up and I am too late saving them. At work I pulled them and made a little temporary nursery with a betta bowl, some water from the aquarium, a little boat for them to sit on above the water, and a plastic fish bag rubber banded over the lid to keep in the humidity (appeared to work quite well)
Right now I have a simular nursey set up using my own aquariums water, a little lid as a boat, and a plastic bag over the top to keep in the humidity. Im going to mist them twice a day as well. The best I can do for the moment anyway!
Before I get more carried away then I already have, can anyone tell me if they are alright?
Im such a sucker for cute little eggies, I hope im not too late!
