my mummy snail has laid eggs yippee!
she laid some last week but looking at the ones she laid this morning (which i got to see) they must have been duds as the ones this morning look really healthy.
have been looking around on the net trying to find out the best thing to do now.
i cant leave them as i have fish in my tank.
now i have read that i need to make a hatchery but cant find anywhere that tells me how.
i am greatfull for any advice you can give me.

My advice is wait and see. Most aquarium inhabitants are only going to reproduce if the conditions are right.
The snail will most likely only lay eggs in an area where they have a good chance of hatching. And in most cases of breeding the best thing a human can do for there pets is nothing, they have instinct on there side and they know what there doing

properly it would prefer to be a snail mushy in the 80 degree temperature bettas are saved at. The zebra apple snail, Asolene spixi, is one such snail. with a golden yellow and darkish brown striped trend they're between the prettier freshwater snails. they look greater like a saltwater snail yet are authentic freshwater snails. in the past ordering them be beneficial it incredibly is criminal the place you reside to maintain them. a minimum of one New England state has made all snails of any sort unlawful to very own. some municipalities have additionally prohibited snails on a laundry record of prohibited species. despite if the betta will nip at a snail. not lots you're able to do approximately that, different than making the betta drowsy by reducing the thermostat on his heater. which could harm the betta over the years so which you may not do it. Spixies are between the snails with conserving catch doorways on their shells so they stand a greater robust threat of managing some betta aggression snails that can't safeguard their finished physique.

i would just leave the snail eggs alone and let them hatch on their own.
i have a tank literally filled...and i strongly mean filled with snails...they are the ramshorn snails, and they actually arent male or female...they have the ability to reproduce without an actual mate. there are constantly snail egg sacks in my tank, and even with 2 clown loaches, and 1 dojo loach, and 2 black kuhli loaches in my tank, there is still a large number of snails.
they eggs hatch on their own, and the teenie tiny baby snails will crawl around...mostly in the gravel or whatnot feeding on the almost microscopic "food" as they are eating the algae and falled fishfood....
it only takes a few weeks for them to start becomming visible.
it is true that if you move or disturb the eggs, you are taking high chances in actually destroying the eggs. not only that, but if you have to use your hands to move them, you are risking throwing off the ph balance in your aquarium by inserting your hands and arms...not that its really harmful, but we have certain oils and acids on our skin that will throw the cycle of the tank off just a little
i would just let the eggs be, and the them hatch on their own. some will get eaten by the fishies, and others wont. the ones that wont, you shall have the pleasure of watching grow up, and make more little baby snails....yaaay...!

i would leave them in the tank cause if you move them the babiesd belive it or not breathe air so yuo will drowned then but if you really want to move them put them in a small tub with about1/4 inch of water or just to keep the snails covered up with water and a rock for them to get out of the water and thats how i do my snails and trust me theyll give you plenty of eggs

I was able to hatch some by putting the cluster in a tupperware on some moist paper towel. Worked for me! Just keep it in a warm room and add a little water to the paper towel if it starts to get dry.
