Hello all -

Well, a 55g tank with 5 nerites inside. The eggs are everywhere! My driftwood has white polkadots. It's starting to bum me out.

Is there anything I can do? I didn't mind at first, but man they are prolific and it's getting ridiculous to the point where I'm considering taking them outta there! I like them, though

Anything? thanks, Dave

Is that a product? I would totally get that!
Better yet, a service - like those services that go around mowing lawns. They could come by every 2 weeks and pluck the eggs, bag them, and fertilize.

How did yer interview go ?

I've noticed my BN plecos tend to push them off of whatever surfaces they go grazing across (or maybe they eat them? IDK?), so in my tank the eggs are just inside whatever little nooks and crannies that are too small for the BNs to get into.

Yea I think it is an acutal product! It is some metal stick which you use to scrape off the eggs!

Hasn't happen yet, gonna subnit the online app tonight after I turn in my FERPA form to school! :biggrin:
