Oh.

Then I'm gettin' my buttocks some nerites

I have nerites in my reef tank. I've had them for 3 years and they've survived and bred in my tank...

Well hey then, got any recommendations for me to order some?

Was Wilma good, RTR?

Oher than one batch multiple years ago found locally, Wilma has been my only current source. The local plant group is getting another bactch from her for distribution at the meeting next weekend. I have been very pleased with mine.

I've got to juggle tanks so that I can try for breeding with some of the new Nerites. I dread going back into greenwater and infusoria production - that will have to wait until after the holidays at least.

I randomly produced that recently in a small tank that sits....*mumbles* onmydiningroomtableinmykitchen (I know my roommate loves this) I was going to give daphnia a shot...


nevermind. I'm just talking. It was the first time I'd done that, not like it's that amazing and great, but...nevermind.

I think I shall be contacting Wilma

I apparently did a water change waaaaaaaay too late one night while medicated and used water from my brackish reservoir rather than my marine reservoir. It was my marine quarantine tank and I didn't discover how low the salinity was for a couple of weeks. (There were no fish being quarantined at the time; only snails and macro).

I ordered my Nerites from John at floridapets.com . He sells wildcaught livestock. I believe Wilma's are captive bred, correct?

Small orders Wilma fills from tank-bred stock; large special orders are wild-caught. This week's delivery will be several hundred for the local planted tank group, so I assume they will be wild-caught. We frequently do group orders.
