How many nerites?

[thatblokeoverthere]

Just a quick one: How many nerites should I stock in a 30l tank? Would two or three be ok?

Good evening,

Without a problem three and even four will do. Remember that they have some rest times and just doing nothing. Are you planning anything else in this cube?

Regards.

It is pretty heavily planted with Java Fern, red root floaters and dwarf hair grass, plus a good population of neocaridinas.

Java ferm has pretty big leaves for such a small size tank, have you not been thinking about 'trident' version?

No, I think it is the narrow leaf variety.

To ensure my nerites get enough to eat, i dont clean the sides and the back of my tank

Yes, I do the same but for the Neos. I am getting the snails as the shrimps are not eating enough of it!
