So I get two, and figure nothing of it till I look into the tanks and see, not 1, not 2, not 3, not even 4, but 5 clusters of eggs. At first I thought that they might be Cory eggs, but no, all my 2 Marissa's do, is be stuck together.:confused:

Congrats! You're going to have a whole lot of baby marisas. :laugh:If you can't handle that many, you could put some of the clutches up for auction (http://www.canadianaquariumconnection.com/ClassAuction/) or you can destroy some of them (much easier than trying to figure out what to do with than many snails).

Well I think someone is eating them as I don't see any babies.:chatterbox:

Do you mean someone is eating the actual eggs? I don't know who in your tank would eat them. The gel coating is supposed to taste awful (note I say 'supposed to' as I'm not speaking from personal experience. :laugh: ).

The eggs will swell and after that you will start to see the tiny babies growing inside (at that point just a little dot)

Ya I see that some have swelled. And I do see dots. I put some in a breeder net to see if I can actually see them. Maybe they went on the last water change. Opps
