So just out of curiosity is it possible for nasarrius snails to pair up? I have 4 on them in my new 29 gallon nano and I have two of them that are always together. Up the glass together, in the sand together, up the rocks together.. it's the damndest thing I have ever seen. Has anyone else had the do this?
 
Mine are always grouped up together under the sand in almost the same spot every time I feed my aquarium. I'm guessing it's a low flow area where more stuff gets into the sand bed for them to eat. Generally, most gastropods do not exhibit any sort of social behavior besides mating behaviors, so you may have two lovey dovey types, but beyond that its probably just coincidence.

That's what I was thinking also. I mean snails aren't exactly the most charismatic little things.
