Apparently Shango had already left when we were discussing this: you don't realy need to acclimate the nerite snails to freshwater. The things are like cockroaches, you simply cannot kill them, be it by dumping a whole bag o fthem in freshwater, saltwater, brackish, peat, toilet water, hell you could probably float them in a keg of Pyramid Ale and they'd clean the walls of the keg and do it with a smile. Seriously, don't worry about acclimating them. Buy them, insert, enjoy!
