    I know that it may not be much, but this is the first successful organism I have bred in my tanks! They have been laying hundreds of eggs for months and months, but last night I saw two very small, identifyable Nerite snails crawling around my tank. They were each slightly larger than a BB. Im not sure if out of all those eggs, a couple finally managed to escape my clowns and grow up, or I started dosing calcium about a month ago and that helped them to develop their shells. Either way I'm stoked! I will post some pics later when I get home of the little buggers......
