Should I Put My Nerite Snails In The Other Tank?

[ZephyrStarPlaties]

I have two ten gallons, each with a little tiny group of nerite snails. Do they like high or low current? If they like lower, I can group them all into the low current tank.

Just make sure they get enough food as nerites are fussy eaters. Mine never ate food I gave to them; they just ate algae...

They like lots of water current. The more the better! As has been said, they eat little beyond green algae and diatoms, and if you add too many, they'll starve. On the other hand, they seem pretty hardy once settled. I have a couple in a ~12 gallon tank and they've been there for at least 4 years. The tank is almost algae-free, and I wipe it down with an algae sponge maybe once a year.

Cheers, Neale

Ok, I'll add them to the high water flow tank once it grows more algae. Thanks you two!
