The abalone snail is oviparous and lays eggs. Although abalone snails live in soda water, they can survive in fresh water and even lay eggs in fresh water. But the eggs are difficult to hatch, and few succeed.
To hatch the eggs of abalone snails, the first condition is to create a seawater environment, that is, the salinity needs to be maintained between 1.01 and 1.02. Salt is a necessary condition for hatching. In addition, the following conditions should also be met.
1. Temperature: It is best to maintain the hatching temperature of abalone snails between 10 and 38 degrees, which is their survival conditions.
2. PH: The abalone snail needs to be hatched in an alkaline environment, so that the newly grown shell will not be corroded. It is better to control the PH value around 7.4.
3. Hardness: a hard water environment full of calcium is also necessary for hatching. Hard water can provide the calcium needed by the long shell, which makes the new shell hard and healthy.
4. Water quality: Only in a clean environment can abalone snails grow.
5. Food: Abalone snails especially like to eat green algae in the water, that is, green spot algae. The sunken wood can be put in the water to breed green algae and then put into the abalone snail breeding tank. This can not only provide food, but also keep the water clean.
