The trapdoors are breeding pretty well, usually get one or two a month. The apple snails have laid eggs once. I probably dont give them a diverse enough diet now. When they did lay eggs was when I had them in the big tank and they were ravaging all of my plants. Lilypads, hyacinth, hornwort, anacharis, and water lettuce seems to be the key. Will try stepping up the food once I get the other tanks settled and see if I can get them to spawn again.

Third picture is great! It looks like it's giving you kissy lip face.

That is a really nice snail tank. They seem to love it.

Thanks guys! I'm looking into getting a few different kinds, giant ramshorn, nerites, and rabbit snails are the top on the list.
