I love buce plants, but have horrible luck with them. This is the first one I have ordered from A.M. The initial quality was very nice. Without a camera flash, it looks pinkish, but with a flash, green! It hasn't been in the tank very long at all, yet I see new growth. I REALLY hope it doesn't melt away and die like almost every other buce I have ever bought...
It seems that buying ANY Nerites from ANY source is a crap-shoot. Some survive, some don't. In this case, all the little snails arrived alive. But so far, I have lost one, possibly two. Not blaming the shop at all, but something to consider when choosing what quantity to order.
They look nothing like the picture. They are tan with black. I'm very thankful they made it alive. Still very cute!! Very small.
It was completely melted when it finally made it, but to be fair, it was hot.
they came in healthy and active they looked great! I drip acclimated them and they are now in their forever home.
