So having an established aquarium with algae build up is a good idea to keep them busy :-D and then the usual veggie supplements from time to time and wafers if your girls don't get to them first! And it depends on which snails you're looking at. Have you tried AquaBid for snails? There's some pretty cheap ones up! Granted most of them are lots of 5-20 >.< #3 · Aug 17, 2013 I didn't even see the snail section on AB, checking them out now, thanks! So would a nerite be too big for a 5 gal? #4 · Aug 17, 2013 If it's a smaller one, it will be fine for now and then you can upgrade tank later, but I wouldn't keep it there for a permanent home is all. #5 · Aug 17, 2013 Are the nerites with the horns on them okay with bettas? #6 · Aug 17, 2013 Yup! They're not actually pointy or anything so they can't snag fins or nothing. I have one Red Spot larger one (Harley) and one smaller bumblebee striped horned one (Quinn) and both are doing well for the passed month ^_^ (in my 33 gallon) #7 · Aug 17, 2013 Thanks for all your help and info! #8 · Aug 17, 2013 Very welcome! :-D Insert Quotes Post Reply
