    Yeah it's nice. You probably will only have to scrape the coralline every once in a while. I need to scrape some off myself. You know what? I got like 15 nerites, and the other day I was cleaning around the tank stand and I found like 10 dried on the floor.

    they climb out of the tank. Mine does that too, they are on suicide mission, nerites + dwarf cerith.

    Nerites maybe once a week, once I found one crawling on my tv when iIwas watching tv and I was like...what the heck..?

    Dwarf cerith: every day they escape gotta keep an eye on them,

    lol yep same as the others here. mine crawl out ALL the time, i accidentally stepped on one one morning and almost slid and fell -.- (my fish tank is inmy bedroom) lol i've sorta become slightly paranoid about hearing them crawl out, usually theres a very distinct CLICK CLACK when they hit the glass and then fall to the tile. lol i do a check every morning just in case lol

    Nerites sometimes take a while to get spatially aware, my dived for about 3 months after having em, but now I never find them outside of the tank.

    The snails I just got seem to gathered at the top of my tank as well. I thought maybe my parameters were off and they were trying to escape to cleaner water. None of them have actually gotten out of the tank though as far I can tell. They seem to get to the top and then fall off back down into the water and to the bottom of the tank.

    Congrats though! If you think your tank looks bad go take a second look at my recent CUC post...

    I think typically nerites come from mangrove areas where there is tide. Coming out of the water simulates that. Or something.
