Hey there,
I have a suspicion that my ember tetra which I purchased yesterday got white spot disease. I immediately took out my neocaridinas as I later applied Sera Costapur meds which are not tolerated by invertebrates. But I also had two nerite snails in that tank.

Besides the infected tank I have another one where I thought I could place my snails, but am hesitant. Do you think the snails could carry the disease into the other tank? I do not want to place them with the shrimps into a bowl with a little bit of moss as there would not be any algae for them to feed on. What's your take on this?

Well, one time I brought a nerite home from the pet store. It was the only new thing I added to that tank. Next day I had an ich outbreak. No proof, but I suspect the snail carried it, thus infecting my tank.

Any wet object can be ick spores carrier. I had ick outbreak by introducing new plants to my tank. So even snails and plants may not be infected by ick, they can still be carrier.
