Nerite snail question

avshockey311 · 01/08/2007, 06:59 PM

I got 25 nerite snails on thursday for my 90 gallon. They all seem to be alive but they dont move very much. Some of them moved across the tank to the overflow box and have not moved from that corner. Is this normal for nerites?

Yea, they are alot slower than most snails. I have 10 in a 37. You can find them in the same place for a long time, but they don't leave much behind. Sometimes they even hitch a ride with other snails.
