thanks guys, yes they climb the glassAlso, nassarius snails only tend to climb the glass when they are extremely hungry. Is this the case?
Excuse me if it sound wrong, english is not my main langage, you think the snail on my picture is a whelk ?It does not look like the nassarius snails I’ve had in my tank for over two years. I did have a whelk hitchhiker in my tank. I noticed 3 empty bumble bee snail shells and then caught it eating a fourth. They are typically nocturnal.
There are many types of whelks, technically nassarius snails are whelks but not all whelks are predators. It looks similar but not exactly like the one I had but it is hard to tell from a picture. Perhaps the nerites died of something else and those snails were doing their job of cleaning up the carcass. However whatever would kill the nerites in the water would do the same to the other inverts. My whelk did not go under the sand like my nassarius snails, keep an eye out for that. We have a saying, when in doubt pull it out.Excuse me if it sound wrong, english is not my main langage, you think the snail on my picture is a whelk ?
