Happy with my Fire Reds but....

Thanks guys...and don't snails like all sorts of water???  

Larger snails like mystery and nerites can suffer shell erosion in water with lower hardness (like mine at 4 dGH / 5 dKH). I couldn't keep either alive long term before boosting my GH.

So no, some don't.

Yeah I added some crushed shells to my canister filter and cuttlebone to help my snails and shrimp. My betta tanks snails survive but don't' thrive because it's just Seattle tap.
