Nerite's Shell...

[Skyewillow]

I read up a thread on another fish forum, and eggshells are suggested as calcium supplements.

Just boil the empty shells to clean them, but I think beyond that, they're good.

Have to remember that next time i make eggs xD

there's a couple of eggshells out on the stove right now, because my fiance's brother is allergic to cleaning up after himself... I may go boil them. Mike also put boiled sand dollars in his tank too.

New question....will snails do mega damage to my moss balls? Since moss balls are technically algae........Gary just climbed onto one of Kalec's >.>

We have Ramshorns, ponds, Malaysian Trumpets, the horned nerite, and 2 "mystery" snails, and a trapdoor in our tank with our big mossball, and I haven't seen any of them do more than climb over it. I also have rams, ponds, and MTS in the frog tank with the same results.

So, in MY experience, they pretty much ignore it.

Never had a snail touch a moss ball.
