Hey all, Ive recently started a two gallon with two large ramshorns, long
story short..there are egg clusters all over the place. Some have hatched,
others (many many others have not). What Im considering is placing
unhatched eggs into my 29g and watching the loaches go nuts over them, just
wanted to make sure that this wasent harmfull to the fish in any way. Ive
researched snail breeding on the net and cannot recall seeing anything
negative to this idea, but figured I'd throw it out to the experts as a
safety precausion. Cheers, Brian

If they were toxic I'd have a few extremely dead fish. Go for it, the
easiest way to get them is with your fingernail or a razor blade.
