Ryukins and nerites?

[Miyavp]

I'm going to be ordering some nerite snails for my betta tank and was wondering if I could get some for my ryukin tank too. Its a 37gal show tank with a 40gal sunsun submersible filter and an aquaclear 70 hob filter. It has 3 ryukins. I heard nerites dont reproduce in freshwater, eat all kinds of algae, and best dont add alot to your bioload.
Would they be alright and how many could I add? I'm only putting two in my betta tank and I can get 10 olive nerites off aquabid pretty cheaply. Could my 37gal hold eight?

8 would be fine in that setup.

Just keep an eye your ryukins because they will likely eat the snails.

They wont eat them whole will they? I dont think they could fit a snail in their mouth

You will have to see how big the nerites are when you get them. Goldie's will try to eat just about anything that will even remotely fit in their mouthes, including snails & their shells.
