Drift Monkey Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Drift, if this nerite crawled out today or yesterday night, try putting it back in the tank. it should come out of its shell if its alive. they are adapted to spending around a day outside water. He immediately woke back up and was just fine. I am missing another one now though... Link to comment

gritchie4 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I just enjoy knocking the nerites off the glass with the glass cleaner. They freaked my gf out the other day tho. One was crawling along the output of the ac70 and she flipped. She was like its going to crawl out. I couldnt breathe i was laughing so hard. Link to comment

I found one of 'em upside down in the sand just hanging out at the back of the tank. It was a PITA getting him out and right side up! Link to comment

Drift Monkey Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Nothing is attached! It took my a LONG time (and a lot of cussing) to get the one in the first pic the way I wanted it. I managed to cram it in one the caves in my rock work...it looks pretty seemless. The second one is just chillin' on the sand next to the rock, lookin' like he's a part of it... Link to comment
gritchie4 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Haha hopefully I will have everything attached tomorrow. Link to comment

It's always a challenge...but I always get it all to fit. That great white is having troubple with the current from the pico powerhead Powerheard is way too strong...had to turn it down for him. I'm kinda new to the hobby but what steps do you take to acclimate the yellow divers? I just threw him right in! No acclimation needed! Link to comment
