How many Nerites snails would you put in a 90g with a ton of Anubias?

I have 5 for 10 gallon. The problem with nerite is that they lay white eggs everywhere.

I would put in 20 to start' with . they eat algea regularly, and IF' you get alot of eggs' try to find the one laying them, and move him ... he will stop IMO ~ mine lay for awile, I move them when they stop I put them back in the tank I want them in . they have been a great Algea cleaners for me . I would think they are the best snail if' your going to have any snails .... IMHO ~

From my experience the Red Spot Nerite and the Zebra Nerite do not lay any eggs. If they do it's a very small count. I've had 200 of them in a 40 gal. tank and have found maybe 30 eggs only after 3-4 months.

Both the Red Spot and the Zebras always stay in the water, while with all the others you never know.
