I recently added a Zebra Nerite to my 5g Chi. I already have a healthy and active Zebra Nerite in my 20g.
However, the Nerite in the 5g keeps coming out of the water, half of its shell is out and dry.
Why? Is it trying to avoid something? Bad Water Stats? Aggressive fish?
I have a female betta and ADFs in there, but the ADFs could care less and the betta sometimes pecks the shell, but nothing else.
Tank has been established for almost a year, stats came back normal, I have just done a water change. Snail nibbled on an algae tab. Temperature is ~76 degrees Farenheit and pH is lower end of 7.
