Dolly Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Twice now my two Nerite snails seem "stuck together". I just got the new one Sunday; are they saying "hello"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennie Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 3 options. Mating, picking on the shell for calicum and stuff, or grazing growth on it. Very likely it is just snex tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free fish food though!! I kind of had fun watching the eggs turn darker then black then my guppies one day would be swarming around the egg in a feeding frenzy. The larvae are too small for us to see but I could tell what was going on lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwcarlson Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Mine seem to like to lay eggs on each other. And on the assassin snails. And any other slow moving surfaces. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanked Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 My Nerites got together for meet & greets quite often. They also laid eggs on anything that did not get out of their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
