    Hmm.. not that I know of in my own personal experiences... Unless they really don't have anything to eat in the tank, then they might target the floras....

    Do they multiply without a mate? I have a single red ramshorn and not sure if populations would increase.

    They don't require a mate to reproduce.

    LOL!!! Yup! As vaynard said it, they don't need to get into those messy courtship or mating rituals... Get ready to receive your 1st batch of Ramshorn babies soon bro...

    PS: So Vaynard, guess your Ramshorn's eggs had hatched already by now right?!? Congrats & cheers!!!

    No signs of birth yet.... its been in my tank for about 2 months so far.

    However, I've seen my bumblebee snails mate... but no signs of eggs... thinking of taking the eggs out when I see them and leave them in a brackish water tank to develop. Anybody has any luck on this yet?
