[mr.waffles1842]

Hi guys, i decided "to heck with it. ill go get a snail." i went to petco, and they had a shipment of tiger nerite snails. i was planning on mystery snails, but i just loved the pattern of this snail, so i got one. are they the same as regular nerites?

Pretty much, just different shell coloring.

awesome, thanks!

Have fun. nerites are awesome! They look cool and clean algae! Bonus!

they are probably, with the exception of amano shrimp, my favorite inverts ever. the reason amanos are better is cuz my mom is freaked out by them...

Yup, the same as standard nerites, just different colors and pattern.

Give him some time.... and has he come out of the shell? A lot of times snails get flipped over and need help (to help them you just flip them back so their "doors" are facing down)

That's a tiger nerite? I looked that up but it came up as horned nerite instead, odd...
