I think we had ramshorns before I was born (have a 4ft tank in the lounge-room) so mum & dad did not seem as excited as I was when I told them my snails were breeding. They were like.. here we go again, how did we get rid of them the first time? Once I told them they laid the eggs above the water line and you can take them out if you want, it is easy - then they didn't seem to dread them as much.
Crazy huh? I think some plants are like that as well.
Wait.. did you say they somebody thought you were 50 or something? BWHAHAHA!!! Too funny. In that case, 20 is better than 50. B)
Too bad about only being allowed three, don't worry about it - just enjoy the ones you have. Parents are funny about some things eh, but you just have to remember they love & care. ♥
I have a 3ft (165L), 4ft (400L), 33L spawning tank.. another tank which is probably about 30L or something, then three other 20L tanks, two with a divider so I can keep two males in them. I wonder if you count the little 6L divided and the hundred or so jars I have.
I remember mum's face when I told her I wanted to breed Bettas, and that they can easily have 200 +, and each male needs their own tank/jar. To put it shortly, she didn't seem that keen. But she gave in, I had already fallen in love with the fish so it was too late.. :cheer:
