There's no eggs from the gold apple snails yet, but one is looking very uncomfortable and not moving around much in the day (although other one is hiding & asleep). At night it makes it's way up to the surface.
It does look stuffed! So I was wondering whether it just can't find anywhere to lay it's eggs. I've read anything from 2 inches as bare minimum, to 3 to 6 inches of tank above the water line.
The tank wasn't up to the maximum level - losing water through evaporation and throwing it out as new fish go in. There was about an inch and a half of space, so just under all of the minimums. Therefore, tonight I removed 8 litres of water to give at least 3 inches of tank side if the snails want to lay eggs. Will replace it in the morning, maybe removing more again tomorrow if nothing happens overnight.
