Hi!
So recently Iāve noticed my zebra nerite (housed in a 2.5 gal tank with one male betta and plenty of algae, I know itās a tight squeeze) has stopped cleaning the algae off the tank walls, plants, and gravel.
Iāve seen him hanging around the filter (not on the intake though) and he had hardly moved for around 3 days.
I read that when there is a lot of algae and the snail doesnāt eat but seems to be still alive, it means they are happy, or something of the sort. Is that true?
I donāt know how long Iāve had him, almost a year I think. I was worried he was dying, as I know they donāt live very long.
He has lived peacefully with the betta for as long as Iāve had him.
Any tips or ideas are appreciated.
Thanks!
