    About 2 months ago I noticed one of my rocks covered in nerite snail eggs, everyone said they dont make it in a captive environment and rarely survive. Well great news, mine made it! They are super tiny still but they look identicle to to nerite snails. Their shells are slowly gaining color, and they are soo cute to watch crawl across my glass. I have at least a dozen ;D! Nerite snails anyone?? lol

    Thought they required brackish water to hatch. Are you sure they're not Collonista snails?

    They dont really look like those but they are still very small. Its hard to tell, the only thing is at that Collonista Snails are nocturnal and these ones arent, i counted 13 just on the front glass. and they are cruisin around. I will try to get a picture
