Hi🙂Snails and softwater do not mix well. ........They are doing really well but they are in hard water. I suspect a nertie would be ok in similar conditions.
Hi🙂
When you mention "hard" water, what pH are you looking at?
My current tank has a pH of 7.5 but then drops down to approx 6.3 after Co2. I am thinking of getting Nertie snails ( a couple) for my tank.
Thanks n Cheers
I think the answer is both, but a more complete answer is in this thread (from earlier in the year) <"Nerite Snails in high tech">.It's been a long time since I have tested the pH but my hard (gH about 18) tap water tends to be about 7.5-7.8. The pH in my tank (gH about 6) tends to be below 7. Now I cannot be sure if it is the actual acidity of the water in my tank or the lack of minerals (or both) that affects the shells.
