thanks for the advice. There is still algae on the glass, so I haven't fed them yet. But if the algae runs out I will give them spinach.

what sort of food? At the moment I'm not feeding them, and they're just eating the algae they find. But when the algae is gone, I'll be feeding algae wafers. Is that ok?

My ammonia/nitrites are finally gone, and I've gone ahead and got a couple of nerites. They both have slight damage to their shells, one more than the other. Does this matter? Apart from that they are fine - they are both now attached to my glass and eating algae.

I really don't mind. Seriously - my 100gal was full of malasian trumpet snails. It was totally infested - you never saw so many snails!! I added two clown loaches and some humbug cats and they were gone within a couple of months. There are now NO snails in my 100gal, at all. Those fish...

I actually don't mind them, it's a constant live food supply for my clown loach/humbugs in my big tank. There are only a couple of them at the moment, but I'm hoping for a few more to use as food.

Ok, I'll wait until the cycle is complete. Funny how the pest snails are doing so well...

Are nerites sensitive to ammonia? My tank is still cycling (waiting for aquasoil spike to go away). It's nearly there though, it has 0.1ml/litre according to my test kit. I have a few pest snails that came with some of my plants, who are thriving despite ammonia, would nerites be the same?

I've never kept these before - would two be alright in a 2.5gal nano, with cherry shrimp? I've never kept snails (on purpose) ever - I have no idea about stocking.
