What I saw with my horned nerite, it's a male. Yep you are right, let time tell

I'm back again to share, one of my shrimp so aggessively picking on the algae and poop at the same time

:D oh I'm glad things turn out fine with them. People said their eggs could be annoying but their hardwork far outweigh their drawbacks. The eggs only can hatch in brackish if I'm not wrong. https://hopeelephants.org/nerite-snail-eggs/ Anyway here's the link to differenciate their sex. Mine never la...

I thought you were looking for horned or olive nerite.
I have no experience in zebra nerite. Maybe you can acclimate it first mike.d.

I have an interesting read on what's in anchialine pool, it says "Plants, or vegetation found in anchialine ponds are also adapted to the brackish water. They are marine algae (seaweeds), cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), and native widgeon grass (Ruppia maritima)." Then some site mentione...

They'll eat it all eventually, especially with the help of the snails. The snails are actually more efficient at eating them over time. But it can take a long time. And if you feed in the meantime they cyanobacteria can grow much faster than the shrimp/snails can eat them. Cyanobacteria come in all...

No acclimation needed besides letting them warm up to room/tank temperature. By the way MrsT...I think the algae on your cultured rock is cyanobacteria. We usually don't want that in our tanks. You don't have to do anything though...just don't feed at all from now on and it should go away and "...

Do you know what type of snail you ordered? Some might not need to acclimate.

Hi Nellyville41, no you don't have to acclimate the microalgae. What type of snails you're getting? Those from Mustafa , you need not acclimate them.

Thanks! I ended up buying the macroalgae and snails today. I’m just gonna throw them in and see how that goes. I’m assuming it should be ok cause the snails get to eat the macroalgae. If anything I’ll add a piece of fish flake. Lol Oh good to hear that Nellyville41, I used 1 snail to kick start cyc...

Nice! Looking good over there. I hope to be there soon. No algae growth in mine but film on top of the water. You will reach there no worry. My case is not the usual, because I don't cycle my tank. I let it cycle as it goes , as long there are food in there for them, there isn't the need for me to ...

I'm glad to hear that mike.d.
Maybe you can try another pet shop or order it online.
Another easy way is leave your supershrimp tank in the dark for a week or 2.

They are munching non stop on those algae

Looking at one of the cultured algae started to turn more darker green. It only took 6 days there were biofilm around. So today i decided to move it to a rack just right infront of my door and added premix brackish until it reaches about 1inch from the top edge. What I did next was throwing 1 opae i...
