I added 2x Zebra nerite snails to my aquarium around 4 weeks ago.
I got them as I read that they are prolific algae eaters and thought they would make a good addition to the tank.
I also read that they very rarely breed in freshwater and need brackish water to do so.
It appears not!
I have at least 10 baby Nerites already roaming the tank, they have mottled shells tho.
Does anyone have any experience of this?
Is it normal for Zebra Nerite to reproduce mottled Nerite babies?
I know there are a mottled variety but I assumed Zebra would reproduce Zebra.
Thanks in advance
