So this is just mostly a vent of frustration I guess.
I have 7 FL Ceriths in my CUC — wild caught — and they have been super stars, so I picked up 5 captive bred Ceriths a few months ago while ordering from another vendor. They came in really small, but all were alive and acclimated well.
Then over the next month or so they one by one started to kick the bucket. I keep finding them upside down with Nassarius snails eating them. Still have all my OG FL Ceriths but was down to just 3 of the little captive bred dudes. Tonight I happened to walk by the tank and once again notice a Nassarius finishing one of them off.
I kept reading that the captive bred Ceriths were supposed to be so hardy, but out of all my CUC they are the only ones dying. Now I only have 2 of the 5 left.
Is it just me experiencing this?
