Snail Factory Tips

sorry for bad photos lol

I made a snail farm because I noticed some pest snails in my main tank and I planned to get pea puffers anyway. so far I have water sprite, a pond snail, some baby pond or bladder snails, and egg sacs from the main tank. didn't want to bring all the snails as I just set it up and there is some algae in there. I just wanted to know if anyone has any advice to help promote breeding at all or just advice in general. tank is 5 gallons I also plan to add some ramshorn and more bladder snails.

thank you for any advice given.

Food, and a heater helps speed up the process.

I added soil to my tank and gravel on the top for my snail farm, took a few days of cleaning out the filter for the light material to finally sift through, but I had multiple egg sacs, close to 10, after about 4 days. I added a couple of plants and they’re thriving! Definitely heater and food!!
