Has anyone ever had these type of snails reproduce in their tank? I think they are baby margaritas and then other people say they aren't. Apparently this snail has both sexes. I have had this tank for over a year, and this adult margarita has been the only margarita in my 24 gallon since starting this tank. I haven't added anything to the 24g since I october of last year. I just started noticing these baby snails a couple of months ago. I hope they do well and end up being adults some day. I also have baby ceriths all over my tanks. I'm sure thats not shocking to some people since these snails are know to be really good at reproducing in captivity.
This is what the adult looked like before her/his shell got covered in coraline.
