Yay. Finally my spixis laid a small clutch of about 15 eggs below the waterline. I'm guessing these take about 30 days to hatch. I wrote the date I found them on the glass with a marking pencil (like a crayon). They laid the eggs after feeding them an algae tablet daily.

I now have 4 clutches of pinkish eggs. Do they take 30 days to hatch?

Spixis are laying eggs all over. I have about 5-6 bunches of eggs right now and some have already hatched, but I have yet to see any baby snails. Perhaps the babies only come out at night.
The eggs seem to hatch after 14 days.

The first batch or 2 of my spixi eggs were very light pink. Now they are all clear.

Yes, all clutches are hatching just fine. Algae wafers seems to stimulate them to lay eggs.
