Karen B. Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Greetings I am slowly building up my futur pea puffers tank. My driftwood is at the white fuzzy disgusting stuff stage. I know it’s normal, so I don’t worry. But I was wondering if my spixi snails could speed up the process as I don’t think the pea puffers will snack on it. I do have nerite snails but their eggs drive me insane!!!! My otocinclus would love it too I am sure, but I haven’t seen them in weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Hmm… I’m informed that a Rubber-lipped Pleco can perform tank cleaning wonders. Sometimes I think Pet Stores might rent them out! How do you get Nerite snail eggs without brackish tank water? Are you sure they’re not just other species of snails?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Female nerite snails lay eggs all the times, they di not need brackish water. They won’t hatch tho. So my tank is littered with tiny ugly sesame seeds like eggs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer V Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I would guess that if other snails would make a meal out of the biofilm then spixi snails would as well. You're right, the peas won't touch it. You'll have to remove the snails before you add your peas or the little beans will murder them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
