    Is this the type they call bumble bee snail? Where can I get them? Can mix with assassin snails?
    Fish keeping is not a good hobby unless you received support from your family to keep them.

    Romans 6:12-13. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.

    Hi all I used to keep a tank of Zebra Nerites, from my exp in general males and females are of different size you will notice that there is super large one and a half size one.

    Re: Why Horned Nerites are the best Algae cleaners

    Hi Peanut,

    I have just put some horn Nerites in my CRS tank a week ago. So far they seem happy with the water (as they have not escape from the tank). My tank temperature ranged from 25 to 29. Their movement seemed slower than Zebra nerites but one of them done a great job of cleaning up the spot algeas on 3 nana leaves.

    Get bigger nerites for lower temp tanks, they are more tolerant of cold.

    Hi Jungle-mania, not sure how cold is your tank. But in my 25C tank, most that died are bigger ones.

    Getting smaller ones have the benefit of them able to climb up stalks & leaves to feed on algae.

    I believed in no time your 'lawn' will be 'mowed'

    No, not really. Mine goes for everything, but then again there is nothing much left in the tank for them to destroy.

    Have you tried NA at Balestier? Small shop but very well stocked with the 'essentials'.
