So this Metabetaeus lohena is safe to put inside the tank along with opae ula?

Need to change the water conditions or they can survive in the same conditions as opae ula?

Will the reproduce quickly and flood my tank with snails?

I don't want that to happen as the shrimps are the main characters.

Nice tank. I believe that is tiger coral.

Is there too little water for your shrimps?

Hi, I used to have 1 snail inside my tank. Recently, I added in another now the older snail keep attaching itself on to the new snail. And it just stay there then entire day. I separated them once and place them as different corners of the tank. After a while I decided to check back on them and agai...

it is not growing on the walls but on the decorative sea shells inside the tank

Hi, I have only keep supershrimp as pets before. I would like to keep some CPO now and I know these are totally different. Can anyone tell me what I need to buy, e.g. filter, pump etc? I'm only planning to keep 1-2 at most and I just want to have them and nothing else inside the tank. Hope someone c...

Is is normal for algae to be growing on the shells inside the tank?

Any ways to remove the algae or prevent the growth of it? I don't want my whole tank to be green

I think one of mine may have croaked too. It burrowed itself down into the rocks right up against the side of the bowl (in a whole pile of shrimp waste) and hasn't emerged from its shell in days. I've noticed they retract into their shells for periods of time, but I've never seen one do it for this...

i would suggest leaving the snail in there. The shrimps will eat it the moment it die. So there is nothing to worry

How long did they took to finish the snail? Mine pulled it out from the shell before swamping it. Was it the same for you?

Update 3*

My weak snail died. And the Shrimps ate it in like a day.

So for those whose snail died, it is ok to leave it in the tank as the shrimps will "take care" of it.

All snails drop from the glass. They are good engineers and use gravity to aid their travels. In a few months, your only concern will be that you have too many snails. But mine has v little suction. The surface area touching the glass is significantly smaller than the other snail. I think it has we...

What kind of snails are those? The look longish and not the usually round shell snails

Update 2*

It seems that the snail is unable to keep suction on the glass. Once again it fell down. I'm seriously thinking it is gonna die soon. Anyone have such experience before?

Looks great!
