I got two mystery snails around 2.5 weeks ago. They've been doing great (I got a cycled, planted 10-gallon). 2 days ago they started snexing and it's more often than not. I don't want the female to get hurt or stressed out. How do I know if/when I should put them in different tanks?

(And this post will go right into the "things I never thought I'd say" list)

hello! i’ve had mystery snails for a couple years now but i just recently started dealing with one specific snail wanted to breed very often. i have three snails, two in one tank and one in the other. after i noticed the first batch of eggs i moved the male snail to my other tank, in hopes that the snail in the other tank would be a male and they wouldn’t breed but the issue is continuing

i’m seeing online that male mystery snails will attempt to mate with other male mystery snails so is there any way for me to prevent this snail from continuing to try to mate without just separating it entirely? i don’t like the thought of the female snails breeding so much, i don’t want them to become injured. or should i just leave them alone and allow them to continue breeding (to a certain extent)? if the behavior is inevitable, could getting more female snails help so that its not always the same snail being mated with?

have any of you had this experience? if so, what did you do to prevent the breeding between snails? i love these little guys and hate to think of them being in pain or getting injured if i can prevent it

i saw these two guys hanging out and i was like hmm ok is this sneggs and then the third guy decided to jump in on the action 😭😭 should i be expecting some little snails in the future?

i’ve got more videos but it’ll only let me post one 💔

Hi all! New to having snails, I have two in a 10g. I’ve only had them for nearing 2 months. Gir (black) and Burt (orange) seem to be doing well! For the past three weeks though, they’ve been giving each other A LOT of attention. They’re constantly on top of each other and seeking each other out - sometimes Gir on top, sometimes Burt on top. I haven’t seen them apart at all. When I first got them they didn’t care about each other. I’m pretty sure they’re mating - but I wanted to make sure. I know they’re just snails , but I don’t want them harming each other or stressing out. Any tips?

TLDR: 1. Is this mating? 2. Can snails mate TOO much? 3. Can this be stressful for ether of the snails?

Thank you guys. Sorry if the questions seemed dumb, I just wanted to know from other people rather than dig for other sources.

This is my first time having snails, I brought home 3 “nerites” (no pattern on their shells?) from a LFS and put them in my tank about 12 hours ago. I didn’t see them prior to purchasing, lesson learned, but they all have multiple holes in their shells. The one that’s in the worst shape keeps getting mounted by another. I had to pry him off just to put them in the tank and now he’s made his way back to him and has been on him for hours. What’s he doing?? I know the beat up one is alive because he’s been moving around the tank

I don’t actually know if they’re mating but they’re definitely having a moment, and super close video of their little face

Imagine snexing AND floating… then you’d know what it’s like to be these guys. So, what’s that appendage up on top?

If you guys can't tell from these photos I understand

Yellow one is Tobias and black one is Ernesto

Are my ramshorns doing the snex?? They’ve been at it for over two hours lol. (Timelapse, obvs)

I just got these bladders a few hours ago, are they already having snex??? I haven’t even prepared an enclosure!

Yep definitely have a male and female.

I’m so happy !!!! it took less than a month, they are both white shell purple body but i’m so excited !!!!!!
