Nerite are intertidal, they can survive in the wild up to a month out of water with minimal to no food. I've had one outside the tank for potentially 8 hours with no issue. Upside down is more likely to attract fish to attack/try to eat them, as long as you are checking the aquarium and flipping they will be fine

Great pics, GG!
I guess it doesn't take much to make me happy, hehe. When I see my snails actually cleaning the plants I am thrilled.
Sir Speedy is so big that the plants lean way down, he hangs on and cleans them anyways. Go Speedy!
Spot is so small she can maneuver easily through the light leaves and cleaned the Wysteria up really nice. Good job Spot!
Nerites and SF Fourty Niners FTW!

hehe, I remember when that happened. So you decided to keep them huh?I have some snails too, but they hitchhiked in on my plants.
What kind are they?
Yeah, I figured they could stick around. And they are multiplying. If they get to where they over populate, I will get the cucumbers out.
But for now they are ok.As to what kind they are? Just plain ole plant snails I guess. Maybe someone can tell me what kind they are?
