Bananabat Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Hi! I have a female nerite snail in my tank with no males. She has been laying eggs basically since I got her (sometime in July or June). I usually scrape them off and suck them out when I clean the tank. But… one must’ve hatched. I’m not sure how this is possible or if it is for sure a nerite snail. I don’t think my water is particularly brackish, though here are my water parameters: GH = 120-180, KH = 50, pH = 7.5. It definitely has the face, body and shell of one (partially the same color as the mother), and has been moving all around the tank. The only other snail I have in my tank is a male mystery snail. If it is a nerite snail does anyone have any advice on how to increase its chances of living? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laritheloud Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 That looks like a freshwater limpet to me. Likely it came in on a plant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After looking at pictures of them, yeah I agree. It must’ve been hiding for a while because I haven’t added new plants to the tank for about two months lol.
