Found the two Gold Apple Snails locked together for a while tonight and one's been climbing to the top of the tank frequently, although that seems to be the male. It goes to the top, then just before it gets there it turns and heads down. Maybe he looking for algae on the glass!
But apparently I need 3, up to 6, inches of tank space above the water level for the female to lay eggs, if that Gold Apple Snail is indeed female and ready to lay eggs. But there's only about an inch there.
It's very tempting to remove a few inches of water to see if they will lay eggs, but do I want to risk upsetting the balance of the water and do I really want hundreds of gold apple snails hatching, when there are only 5 neon tetras in the tank - and they leave the other baby snails alone.
