Ok so I am VERY baffled right now. I didnt think that these snails reproduced in captivity. I have had my shrimp tank and nerite snail tank up and running for about a year and a half. My shrimp are breeding like crazy and I have one Zebra Nerite in there.
I was looking at the tank glass tonight and noticed 6 or 7 specs moving. I got out the magnafiying glass and they looked EXACTLY like the nerite, but just more transparent. I have not added any new plants nor have I used any equipment on the tank from other snail infested tanks for about a month. Do I actually have baby nerites or am I just dreaming?
BTW the tank is a 10g with eco complete and 6.5wpg. There is no CO2 and I dont fertilize. The PH is about 6.8. The temperature is 78F.
