Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I've been super busy recently with school, thanks for the info on them, very much appreciated

I really would like to try them but have a overabundance of pond Snails and would like something to keep the Malaysian trumpet Snails lower as well, so I will likely just get another type of nerite or something else, thank you for the response

I read that assassin snails can't be kept with marbled limpets because of their shell shape. Does anyone have any experience keeping these two together?

It's just another name for Dwarf chain loaches

How many sids were there and how big was the tank? I think I might give it a try and get a few nerites and see if they leave them alone but still eat the smaller snails. From other forums that I've read after looking super deep it's usually that they eat any snails they see or don't eat any at all.

Would I be able to keep larger nerite Snails (1+ in) with 6-9 Dwarf Chain loaches (in a 75 gallon planted tank)? I'd assume because they are so much smaller than most loaches they would be fine with them. I also have a lot of pond Snails and now Malaysian trumpet Snails for them to eat but I...

Sorry I haven't checked this, holidays are busy. Anyways I mostly ask because I see so many reviews on both petsmart and petco saying their tanks cracked for some unknown reason and I had a feeling it was the people mishandling them. So far I think my suspicion is correct, thank you all for the...

From all of your experience overall are Aqueon(Petco) or TopFin(Petsmart) aquariums better. Which brand has lasted longer for you? Which brand has leaked for you? Have either cracked for an unknown reason? Or have they both been unreliable for you?

I'm asking for my friend, he would like black phantom tetras, loaches, and maybe an apisto and maybe some emperor Tetras. Would it be good to keep as few as he could? There would also be some plants in the tank

Could a female electric blue acara (as they are smaller) go in a a 35 gallon (30in L - 12in W - 22in H)? Would it be too stressful and a poor life for her? Would she be too aggresive in that small of a tank with other fish? Would it just be better to go with a smaller centerpeice fish?

To me it just looks like algae which is a good thing! However if your tank hasn't been running for more than two weeks I have a feeling you are not firmiliar with the nitrogen cycle, which could be detrimental to your tank, are you firmiliar with it? Also is the fish in the top left of the 3rd...

Alright, that sounds good, I will feed them snails in quarantine and once they get in the actual tank I will feed them a small amount of fish food. Then when I see just a few to no snails I will start feeding them a lot more and that should hopefully make it so that they don't make much of a...

Ah I see, I assume you were under the impression I already had the loaches, I would get them if I can't get rid of the snails myself, but first I would get the shrimp and let them establish in high numbers. Then if im still having problems with the snails then I would get the loaches, if any...

But my question with that is that with the amount of space would the shrimp still be able to keep a stable population? I understand they will eat a lot of them but would it be enough that they would completely diminish the population? Or like you said would it still be just a gamble?

If I were to get a small school of dwarf chain loaches 6-9 of them to take care of a pond snail "problem" would they be fine with a established group of Wild Type Neocaridina Shrimp. Yes I understand Snails can be beneficial. I also understand how to control them such as manually removing them...
