A few weeks ago, I had my first batch of mystery snail babies. The two parents are sort of a gold/brown mix, and they produced about 11 babies that survived (some may have become food for my african frog). Anyway, the babies are getting pretty big now. They are about the size of a pencil-top eraser (or bigger). Two of them are completely white (somewhat transparent) and one is completely gold. The rest, all equal in size or smaller than the pure white and gold babies, all look to be a brown & gold mix, like the parents. Can I expect them to stay this color as they mature? Are they considered albinos? Is there an increased interest in albino mystery snails? And, if so, what can I expect if I keep the baby albinos and continue to breed them? My current plans were to trade the babies to pet stores for fish food, carbon, etc. Will the color anomolies increase the "tradeability"?
