I have read that you can't breed Nerite snails in freshwater, but has anyone been successful at breeding them in brackish water? These are such awesome snails, I have them in my other tanks and they really keep things spic and span. :D

I had read that nerites have a larval stage and require full saltwater before returning to fresh or brackish habitats when they mature, so I did a little search for you:
