So many baby trochus snails!!!

[SourAngelfish]

My trochus snails have been constantly breeding in my tank over the last month and there are babies everywhere. It’s so cool! Is there any for sure way to keep these guys alive..?

IME I dont do anything special to assure their survival and they all continue to grow to adult size. They even somehow find food to eat in my sump that doesnt even have a fuge.
Here’s a photo with my thumb for reference of how tiny the babies are that grow in my sump

Yea I’m happy they’re breeding, there are like 6 new ones a week. I’m setting up a larger tank that needs a big clean up crew so this will save me about $50.

Ok I have them breeding as well. It may be getting out of hand. I would say I have hundreds now.

What did you do about having that many, I have 100s myself and need to get rid of alot I might see if my LFS will take them and give me credit for more fish/coral.

Just found one which turned into more and more different sized babies! We're so excited!

I've never had babies but did see them spawning...

Were you able to get babies?
I got 7 today and will release them in once they're done acclimating.
I'm hoping they do reproduce.

Are those guppies in a saltwater tank?
I knew mollies could survive in saltwater but not guppies.
Thats pretty cool!

I have hundreds of small ones in my tank also...but i figured maybe they were just a smaller limpit or something?

I keep only one trochus snail and today I saw like hundreds of small ones. Can someone explain? I have had it for 4 months now.
