nerite snail

HI folks - today I decided to buy one nerite snail for Pearl the betta's tank. I hope it cleans my plants a bit, etc. I floated its bag in the tank (which Pearl actually LIKED!), then placed the snail on the substrate, purposely by some algae. My question is, how long does it USUALLY take...

I just am loving my fish babies so much lately and can’t take enough pictures of them and wanted to share them somewhere! Please don’t judge my browning plants, I’m still learning 😂 I hope you all enjoy my babies as much as I do🥰

Hi everyone! My name is Cassi, I am a stay at home mom and I am fairly new to this hobby, having only started this a few months ago. I did do LOTS of research before diving into this hobby and I’m still learning which I love! I have a current set up of a 29 gallon Topfin tank. HOB filter and...

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting, I am trying to get some answers on possible tank mates for my Betta. Currently I already have my Betta (obviously) he’s a male Halfmoon. I also have 5 peppered Cory catfish, 2 ghost shrimp, and 2 nerite snails. They are all super happy and comfortable...

Recently I've been having a huge issue with the clarity of my tank's water. I have a semi-planted tank with 5 different plants in it. I did a normal water change about a week ago and suddenly the tank is extremely cloudy. It was completely clear before. I've used a water clarifier and it hasn't...

Hi there 👋 I finally made a fish forum for all of my fishy questions. I bought a couple panda corys today, a couple AFDs, and i saw the Assassin Snails, and at first I thought they were so cool i HAD to buy them. SO i did (they tried to breed and i saw their mouth and im a little heeby geebied)...

Hi I'm Jin, I'm a relatively new to this hobby. I'm a 24yr old Minnesota native who grew up in the farm life, and love animals. I had a gold fish from the state fair when I was a child but honestly I can't remember much I was so young. My current fish is Berry, a male betta. I got him October...

Hi All you lovely people, I have never had a snail before and although we have had our nerite snail for nearly 2 years there is an area on his shell I'm worried about. Does this look like his shell is damaged or a portion missing?? Not sure how to help, can I give him something to strengthen...

So I admit I don’t know much about snails. I have had a freshwater tank for about 2 years now & nerite snails were recommended. I got them & they have been fantastic! A few have died & been replaced but besides that great! I noticed some white spots on 1 of the snails & wondering what they are...

Ok, so I have one 55g freshwater display tank. Nitrate 20 Nitrite 0 Hardness 150 Chlorine 0 Alkalinity 100 pH 7.2 The above readings have been steady for at least 6 months. Tank mates are: 2 male guppies, 2 dwarf gourami -1 male 1-female, 4 nerite snails, and 9 Julii corydora catfish. A few...

Hello. My betta fish has been with me since the summer, in a 10 gallon planted tank that I've worked hard at keeping in good condition. While originally with me at home, I took the whole setup and my fish with me to college once the school year started (don't worry it's all social distanced, we...

Ok guys, I think it's time to breed nerite snail as they are quite old. Questions...again How to set up brackish water, what kind of salt should I use?

Hi, I am not sure if I need to feed my zebra nerite snail or algea in the tank is enough. I was not worried it would be hungry in the last 2 months because it was eating fungus on the wood all day long but now that I replaced the wood I am not sure if I should feed it?

I was so excited to finally find a nerite snail at my local Fish store I didn’t even notice the shell was broken! Will this harm him in anyway? And what type of calcium could I give them to help repair it? a petco employee told me once I can give regular tums. If that right? And will that harm...

Hi, I think my nerite snail is dead. It has been 3 days sinced it moved and I smelled it and it smells bad. Should I remove it and what could be the causes of the death? I have two nerite and the other one is acting normal.

So, I'm relatively new to snails. My boyfriend always wanted me to get one, but I wasn't really interested (too worried about crazy snail reproduction after hearing some horror stories from friends). But I found a beautiful little tiger nerite at the fish store and I fell in love. After a quick...

i am new to snails. I have 6 nerite snails in my tank with Livebearers because I heard they are best for NOT reproducing. One of my snails was upside down as I often find them, I flipped it over & it still has not moved in over 1 day. I can see it is not attached to the bottom of the tank. I...

Hello! So I went away for a while on a trip and while I was gone my sister seems to have forgotten that fish aren’t just toys and completely avoided doing any water changes. I did a major one immediately once I got home (3 gallon tank with nerite snail) and noticed some black on his fins. Now...

I recently bought 2 nerite snails and both of them are in an almost cycled 3.5g tank with a betta. I dont have a heater but I'll get one soon. The temperature is at 72. One of the snails moves and eats on algae from another tank. The other one doesn't do anything but he is alive because I...

I got a nerite from my lfs and I realized his shell is broken at the back tip. I can see his insides and I'm wondering if this has any negative effect on him. The tank is fully cycled and I need to buffer the water a bit because it's at a 6.7ph and I also put some cuttle bone to help with calcium.
