    Wow, what a lovely selection of plants!

    I've been pondering getting a nerite snail for my green spot algae. Do you notice an improvement with yours in the tank?

    One good thing about nerite is that their eggs do not hatch in freshwater so unlike trumpet snails, they will not be all over your tanks. At the same time, you will only get less and not more. I lost one when I was treating ick. Lesson: remember to take them out before adding any medication into the tank.
