dweyant Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi, Picked up about a dozen snails yesterday for my tank. They seemed to be ok last night, but most of them have spent the day hanging out at the very top of the tank right at the water line. Is that normal, are they just getting acclimated to the tank? All of my parameters are good. I took a water sample into Shane at Fishy Business yesterday and he checked everything for me. -Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Should be fine. Mine do that as well, even when they have been in the tank for a long while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also got a clown fish yesterday. He(?) has been flying all over the tank checking everything out. Seems to be having fun. My daughter has been having a lot of fun just watching him. -Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddybluewater Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Are they nerite snails? Mine stay at the top of the tank and even out of the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefman Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 The Nerites are known to crawl out of tanks, as I have experienced myself with them. Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaJMasta Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Ceriths also seem to like right up next to the water line, only of my 3 kinds i've never seen stay up there are the nassarius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rgwiz11 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) My ceriths like to crawl over my glass but rarely venture out of the waterline. My Astrae, on the other hand, venture all the way to the top of my tank and like to hang upside down on the top. It's a little precarious, considering they can't right themselves up if they happen to fall off...

dweyant Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Don't they know they are supposed to be eating my algae, not hanging out at the water line.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
