Re: [GSAS-Member] Nerite Snails Eggs

[Bryan Nichols <nicholsbryan@gmail.com>]

I actually only had one snail. It was very pretty but I didn't really get
the full algae eating benefits from having just the one in the tank (55G).
Eventually he just died. I'm perplexed as to why though. I fed that tank
regularly and well IMO but I guess it could have been something else. I
think I had it a little over a year before he died. The eggs lasted well
into the future. I may even have some eggs attached to the rock I pulled out
after the last re-scape.
