I know there are marine nerites, but supposedly these are from streams in South Africa and Florida. I was thinking they live in fresh but migrate to the brackish mouth of the river to reproduce?
They definitely look different than the marine nerites.
Lifespan about one year?

From what I have read about nerite snails, they will not do well if kept in freshwater for long, they are more brackish to marine water snails. I cannot vouch for that statement, just something I read on the web, and I cannot quickly locate it right now. Something that I do not see mentioned […]
These Rams http://www.aquatic-hobbyist.com/profiles/freshwater/cichlids/bram.html should grow to around 4″ which kind of makes them not suitable for a 10G tank. Most profiles/care sheets recommend at least a 20G tank for this species. It’s best to keep fish that stay under 3″ in 10G tanks so this Ram is only a little over the limit […]
Lenny and Steve- By Co3 I meant NO3, my apologies - as well as No2 not Co2. I was half asleep when I did that post. So so sorry.
I use API’s Freshwater Testing Kit which in my experience gives better results than, say, taking them to a pet store to test, and most pet […]

Well, it looks like you have plenty of cycled filters to get live bacteria from. You never needed Dr. Tim’s stuff to begin with. So with ample media from previously cycled tanks, you could add fish and if Dr. Tim’s was a good bottle, you just went into over kill. If it […]
I am not one of the members that have a lot of experience with fish keeping, though with the help of this group I have been very successful so far.
Her is my experience and thoughts on Dr. Tim’s. When it works, I hear it works very well, when it does not, you have no […]
Also your tank will not be cycled until you get a nitrate reading, but it will take a week or two.

If you only put one tetra in the tank, the bacteria will grow only to support the one tetra and will not be sufficient for the corys. I believe the instructions with Dr. Tims say to add all fish at the same time as the Dr. Tims. If you dont, the bacteria you […]
I started a new tank with Dr tim freshwater bacteria for my 20 gal long tank. I will be adding 1 tetra for right now. Our cory catfish had babies and all I can see from time to time is 5 babies. I want to put the tetra in 1st.. Our 46 gal tank is […]
