Don't be sorry, I appreciate it very much! I will take a look

Also wondering thoughts about this guy? He has something white going on by his nose(sorry, unfamiliar with the correct terminology, still learning!)

Thank you, sadly I cannot easily return him as I bought from a shrimp place online. Is this something I need to be worried about the rest of the tank for now? Currently doing a large water change using the drip to refill what's been taken out. They are all from the same place and were acclimated...

Hi everyone! We recently started a shrimp tank after being super anxious and worried to just jump into it. Our tank was cycled, planted and has lots of algae on the surfaces.. I noticed this one and first thought eggs but after getting a closer look it seems to be fungus. Are we doomed or is...

I've been smelling him daily lol. He's back in his bag apartment for the night again as we just added new shrimp and they were climbing on him and he refused to come out again. He seems happier living alone lol not sure if we maybe should just re-home him or try him in another tank. I just don't...

Thank you!! He seems active provided he isn't on the sand substrate lol. He is currently floating in a bag in the tank and once again zooming around but when he goes back in the tank he stops. Such a bizarre little guy lol. He doesn't stink and comes out when he isn't near the substrate only for...

Okay so I think we have figured it out. He is definitely alive but seems to not like the sand substrate? When I Google it says sand is best for snails however I put some cuttlebone in for him and put him on it.. he just goes back and forth on the bone then freezes when he gets to the edge. Does...

That's really neat, thanks for sharing!!

I had tried him on the moss ledge but when I got home it looks like he'd fallen off that too unfortunately. I got home and he was belly up again, I turned him over on the sand and he has very slightly raised up but not gone anywhere so not sure if that's a good sign or what. Our other nerite has...

Thank you so much!! That is all great to hear. I have ordered some cuttlebone to hopefully help supplement calcium to his shell as the other person that responded said. I have not tested the water today but yesterday our KH was 4 drops(71.6ppm as per the chart) and our GH was 11 drops(196.9ppm)...

Thank you! I will look into it. What could even cause something like that I wonder? There are just 5 small shrimp in the tank with him and they do not go near him, however, prior to us bringing him home he was in a tank with a bunch of other snails so idk! Thanks for your input! :)

Hi everyone! We added a new nerite snail to our 5g tank along with 5 shrimp and at first he was quite the speedy little guy cleaning up the glass quite quickly. We noticed tonight he was laying on his back in the substrate and not moving. He didn't seem to respond to us picking him up but we...

That's good to know, thank you! I will do that!

I definitely will, thanks for sharing!!

That sounds awesome!! Our biggest at this point is this 10g and I feel like it's super cramped and I need to remove some things lol. We have a 20g as well just haven't started it yet but it's tall instead of long so I feel like it will feel the same when we get started.

That is super cool to know, thanks! I will need to do some googling I had no idea lol.

As long as he doesn't touch the nerite we are all good lol. I guess worst case I could move the nerite back to our 5g tank! Thanks so much ☺️ Perfect!! I was just worried about ammonia spikes or whatever but I feel like if the body is gone that's not a concern? Thanks a lot!!

Wow they must love that then!! Love the look of that tank!

I think our Betta may have developed a taste for baby ramshorn snails.. or there is something else eating them in the tank but not our zebra nerite snail thankfully. I did the planaria water bottle test and found none so hopefully we don't have any in the tank. Should I remove the shells? I...

Oh wow! I thought anything over 20 was not okay so once again my brain is confused about cycling lol. Thank you!! I definitely could do that I was just worried about overdoing it and taking the nitrates from the plants, yes it is water lettuce! I like the look of frogbit so I definitely could...
