They will be normal gals LOL.

It's best to frezze the egg's as after time the snails will get smaller and snaller with every batch.

It's advised not to breed siblings together - it's hard to shift unwanted Fulica as they're are so many about.

Better of not breedeing - or breeding the less common ones.

Sorry that last bit was confusing wasn;t it.

If they're in the same tank - they will breed. Just check for egg's regularly and take the mout to freeze them.

After 24 hours just throw them away

(p/s, got 3 new snails yesterday and another 3 today )
