1. How fast do giant ramshorn snails grow?
2. Can I breed them with marbled crawfish in a 50 gallon or should I do a sep tank/bucket
I'm breeding them for food for my fahaka thanks all!

Growth rate generally depends on what you're feeding. Make sure you're giving them a food with enough calcium. Mine seem to grow a bit slower. Like, it takes them around a month to get the size of a GSP eye.
I wouldn't recommend breeding snails with anything because whatever else is in the tank generally eats the snail eggs. Just set up a bucket with an airpump and a heater. Add a fake plant or two for laying eggs on and you'll be good to go.

Spot-on.
Heater at 80 and cuttlebone also helps.

Sorry but I don't have any idea about that. No knowledge.
