How do water snails breed?

The water snail is a kind of chestnut snail of the family Stylomonidae. Its body is completely transparent because it can't see the sun. Because living in the deep sea, to cope with strong currents, water snails have to ensure enough buoyancy, so the heavy snail shell has been completely degraded. So how do water snails breed?

How do water snails reproduce: water snails breed. Snails are hermaphroditic animals that mate and lay eggs together, regardless of whether they are male or female, as long as they are fed with 2 snails to reproduce. Snails about the size of 4 to 6 months can breed. The breeding period is usually from May to June. The performance of the snail's estrus is that the neck is swollen, there are white protrusions stretching behind the large antennae, and at the same time, mucus is constantly excreted to moisten around the reproductive pores. Snails breed 1-4 times a year. Three weeks to a month after each mating, the snail stops feeding, chooses the spawning site, digs a cave 5-8 cm large, then shrinks its head and feet to the mouth of the shell, lies motionless on the soil, and lays eggs in the cave from the reproductive cavity. Snails are very exhausting when they lay eggs, so don't disturb them when they lay eggs. Snails lay 70-200 eggs at a time, the eggs are the size of mung beans, white, covered with a shiny film. Calves can be hatched in 12-15 days.

Water snails reproduce very quickly, and it takes only more than a month from birth to maturity to reproduce the next generation, so those who raise ornamental fish, if they raise very small fish, it is recommended to clean up all the snails in the tank at the beginning, so as to avoid the snail tank being full in the future. If it is a slightly larger fish or a fish such as a street sweeper, you don't have to worry too much, because they will eat the little snail or snail eggs.
