[QUOTE="AlphaBetta, post: 2338287, member: 810237"] No, mystery snails are not hermaphrodites; they will not overrun the tank. Yes, bettas can live with mystery snails, depending on the betta. My question is:: When introducing a mystery snail into a betta tank, how would one go about that? Assuming the betta is already settled. Would it be best to: -Introduce the two with the snail in the bag/container? -Take the betta out and let the snail adjust; then let the betta back in? -Other option? I'm not looking for suggestions about the incompatability of these two, and I do know the needs of both the betta and the snail. I only want answers that correspond to my question. :) I will also add this question, in case anyone knows anything about it; If I were by chance to get a female snail, would it be safe if my betta got to the eggs (fertilized or not)? Of course I would remove them if I caught them first, but I know that the snails are more active at night and therefore she might lay them at night. Thank you! Haha, I know that mystery snails may still lay unfertilized eggs, and even go into the hood if there's not enough room above the water. ;) That, or they might even escape from any opening at all, and lay them outside the tank.. I've heard it all. I'm hoping for a male! Mystery snails are not hermaphrodites. I know for a fact they are not, please do not tell me to do more research when you do not know about my specific question. ;) Thank you. [/QUOTE]
