  • Nerite snail behavior

    About three days ago, a pair of my zebra nerites started to spend about 90% of their time attached to one another. Is this kind of behavior indicative of a problem?

    no, mine ride around on each other all the time. the assassin snails will too but thats normally not a good thing since they eat each others shells.

        I have a pair of horned nerites that do the same thing. Even laying eggs on each others shells. Weird creatures.

          they do keep each others shells clean lol, i had a lone olive nerite for a while and algae started growing on its shell after a year. when i got some more that was the first thing that they 'cleaned'
