Cerith Eggs in my display tank

[benmorrow1978]

Hello all,

I'm hoping someone can give some guidance on raising Cerith snails. I've got a couple strings (I know, not the right term) in a few different places on my tank walls. It was pretty cool to actually watch the snail lay one line of them. Anyway, everything I've seen online says there's no chance, I don't have time or desire to set up an additional system, my QT has an angry damsel in it right now so that's out too.

On a side note, my cleaner shrimp have been producing and releasing eggs for oh about 4 months now. Neither goes more than 2 days without holding some.

Any success stories??

I don't know about success in standard reef tanks, but I did come across an old thread from Saltwaterfish.com recently about one of their mods who has a 900 gallon "lagoon" setup...just a big shallow view from the top pond type deal where he pretty much experimented with a more natural hands off approach to filtration and husbandry. Apparently, he's had great success with that, including a bunch of successful spawning of all sorts of fish and inverts. It's a long read, and most of the pictures unfortunately have broken links, but it's pretty interesting stuff.

Just search for bang guy lagoon.
