I see nerites at stores in saltwater tanks, and I need some for my freshwater tanks. Are they able to switch? Also, how would I acclimate them to freshwater?
 
Not to revive a dead thread, but I had the opposite question. I have 2 tiger and 1 zebra nerite in a freshwater tank I just broke down and I am going to attempt to acclimate them to saltwater.
To the OP, did you ever try acclimating or did you just buy fw ones?
 
I think if you slowly increase/decrease the salinity it should work if not nerites are fairly inexpensive when it comes to the hobby.
