My mystery snail eggs have hatched, and I have little baby snails amongst the gravel in my tank. They are so small, I would not have noticed them were it not for my observant 6-year old daughter. And, to make matters worse, they are practically the same color as the fish poop.
I usually vacuum out the tank once/week in order to freshen the water and clean up the gravel. But, this week, I am afraid to vacuum because of the baby snails. If you have had experience with this, please answer. But no speculation please. If I wanted a guess, I would make the guess on my own... The vacuum has some sort of a stopper on it so it won't vacuum up the gravel, but it will get the poop. As far as width and weight, I would guess the baby snails are slightly bigger than the poop, but smaller than the gravel. Will they get sucked up by the siphon???
