Karen B. Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Greeting! 2 of my nerite snail tip of their shell is white. Is it normal or a sign of a deficiency? 20 gallons high, temp between 76 & 77. 0/0/30 ph : 7.4, kh 4 and gh 8 I put a piece of cuttlebone in the hob filter for calcium purpose.

FishyJames Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I have 4 nerites and 2 of them have the same thing. They have been like this for over a year so I'm assuming it is normal. If not, I'm looking forward to others input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
test.tin Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 If they just started to develop the white tip, then it's a sign they aren't getting enough calcium. Putting in cuttlebone is a good start. You can try feeding them blanched veggies that have calcium or specific food with calcium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
