nerites

they should be fine, and as long as they get plenty of health food to eat they will repair it from the inside out.

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?

I found that nerites like blanched spinach leaves. Just tuck a little under the gravel and they find it. Remove uneaten after 48 hours or it will quickly pollute your tank

Mine just survive on whatever is in the tank. I do feed the shrimp in some of the tanks algae wafers though so no doubt they get eaten by the nerites as well occasionally.

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.
