I read at least one species of nerite (could be Olive?) is native to Florida. The Zebra nerite is from Africa. I can't believe it's so difficult to find any information about certain inverts. All information about the zebra nerite (Neritina natalensis) is that it's got a complex lifecycle and...

Snails are incredibly tough really. My Dad had loads of MTS he wanted rid of, so took the gravel out and spread it out on the patio in the garden during the summer. Two weeks later, he rebuilt the tank, put the gravel in and two days after that, snails!

Has anyone else found their Nerites on the carpet?! I find my one (I only have the one) on the carpet a few weeks after putting it in. It must have climbed up the glass out through a hole for the cables and then fallen off. I don't know how long it was out for, but it was dry. I put it back in...

I've got 2 large(ish) angels with amanos and they've never paid them any attention. I've always found with angels that they're more likely to look on additions as food if you add them to the tank with the angels, rather than add the angels to the tank

Don't hydra just sit somewhere and wait for food to pass by? I don't think they actively hunt it down, although they can (just about) swim. They're might be some parasitic type remedies out there that will kill them off.

So who's tried breeding them? Chuck a few into some brackish water and wait for baby snails? I have a spare small tank and am thinking of putting some brackish water in there with some amano shrimps and some snails and see what happens. I have 3 large(ish) amano shrimps but I've yet to see any...

TBH, I didn't expect you to be, I was just reiterating what I'd heard. What substrate are you using? Maybe they're living on something in the substrate, but I doubt you're using humus rich top soil are you?

Ages ago in PFK there was a question about tiny worms just a mm or two in length. They said it was probably planaria and they're in most mature tanks but usually in very small numbers, the only time you can swarms is due to overfeeding.

Wow, you've definitely done your research! Are there many people breeding grade 'A's in this country? edit: Do you know how CRS compare size-wise to the other 'freshwater' shrimps i.e. tiger, cherry, bumblebee?

Do the better grade ones have more defined stripes? i.e. less 'blotchy'? They'll be given the patterns names soon, like koi.

Ive got 3 - one large one and 2 smaller ones that I've had for over 6 months. I haven't seen any eggs at all. Is there a way to tell the sexes apart? Maybe I've got all males, just different ages.

Has anyone here bred C. Japonica/Denticulata i..e the amano shrimp? Anyone tried? Has anyone ever had any eggs?

Was that the new ruby ones? Thy did look nice when I looked at them. I spent my formative years in fishkeeping with me and my Dad trying to rid tanks of snails, so I seem to have some kind of phobia about putting any back in!!

I've got 3 amano shrimps in my 2' tank, one very big one and two that are about half the size. I'd had them about 6 months and been dosing Excel every two days for about a month, maybe more. Everything seems fine at the moment. When I feed the fish the shrimps come out and fly through the water...
