It's crazy that they've already laid that many eggs in just 2 days.

I just found a pond snail in my ramshorn/red cherry shrimp tank. Must have been a hitchhiker on a plant, and the particular LFS where I got the plants said they didnt have any :C.

There are sooo many eggs. So many, in fact, that 1 ramshorn has 3 clusters on it's back.

What is the trick to keeping them alive??? The few that I got from Petsmart died like a day later....I don't understand it, because all the other snails are reproducing like nutz!!
5.5g: Pond snails
5.5g: Red Cherry Shrimp and Rams
10g: PZ the Pee Wee (DP), Ghost shrimp, Otos x3
36g: Luau the F8, Zebra nerites x8, sometimes a herd of ghost shrimp for food
