Trust me they won't. One day they'll just disappear. I've had tanks covered top to bottom clear up without issue.

I'm thinking about getting a few more zebra nerites but I was also looking at the mystery snails or apple snails. Arent they the same thing? Will they eat my plants?
The amount of diatoms in my 5gal have decreased tremendously. Im going to get some algae wafers for ziggy. I don't want him to starve. I was getting diatoms in my 55 yesterday until I tore it all apart. So hopefully in another week I can get some snails and some shrimp. I'm going to see if petco can special order some red cherry shrimp since they don't normally carry them in stock.

Is my snail ok? Last night unthought he was dead and today he has black spots on his foot.

They look like they are on the glass. If its on the glass it's still alive. Dead snails can't suction onto things.

I know it's still alive. Last night I thought it was dead. It was on the bottom upside down and not moving. Are the black spots on his foot normal? He is moving very slow today.
