nerite snails

[corylover5]

I would like to get a couple of nerite snails for my aquarium. I know how to care for mystery, rabbit, and giant tower cap snails but is there any specific care for a nerite snail? How many should I get for my 29 gallon if I already have 5 mystery snails (plus 173 babies but I'm selling those), 1 rabbit snail, 1 giant tower cap snail, and 1 Colombian Ramshorn snail? thanks in advance

I can see you like snails. You should be fine to get 2 or 3 if you want

I love snails. I'll probably get 3. If I get 3 nerite snails is it possible to still get more rabbit snails once I sell all the baby mystery snails?

Yes I think so. Just keep and eye on the bioload and if it looks crowded stop buying more it should he fine though

The plus side on keeping nerite snails is that whenever they laid eggs, it won't hatch in freshwater.

Yeah the ONLY downside to nerites is the 50/50 chance you get a female... and they like to decorate the tank with eggs lol

I am so used to it as 3 of my 4 nerites are female. I just overlook it now and barely actually notice.

If your tank has the algae to feed a small group.why not? Plus in my experience horned nerites dont go out of the tanks while the zebras I had kept disappearing so I recommend the horned nerites
