Nerite snail

[LookoutTrout]

I wanted nerite snails but was told no, they only have these yellow and black ones. Like when I wanted an SAE and was told they only have flying foxes and not the Siamese type, after some careful pattern checking it was obvious they were SAE so I bought one.

Tank looks much better drifty mate. Why haven't you filled it right the way up though?
