Somebody knows where buy them?
How many theodoxus babies with one mother?

Fuku Bonsai and Shrimpmart used to sell it. You can ask hawaii-opaeula.com or go to Hawaii Image. Millions of them on the rocks and they are picked for human food. Read they taste like abalone.

Thanks for the info.

Theodoxus it's not a prolific snail. In my freshwater cold tank every female six or seven eggs, just in spring. But I'm surprised with them at brackish/warm opaeula tank: continuous laying with more eggs.

Got a video of a berried Alpha eating.
That is a really neat video, I fed mine some fish flake and they feed from the surface like Opae ula which i found interesting.

Interesting, I don't really feed but an occasional hermit crab food for them which sinks.

Looks like it to me, also looks consensual :laugh: :smile: in my tank they seem to just 'hit and run' lol.

For my reference, my only female Alpha is berried again so 3 months apart from last getting berried.
