Can I get more snails?
Okay so, I kind of want four mystery snails. Is that too much? I have one in a ten gallon right now, living with a betta, small glass cat fish, and african dwarf frog. I kind of want one of every color, or rather what they sold where I bought him.
He's blue, but I want ivory, black, and gold. They had well over four in the same tank where I bought them and they seemed pretty content, and the one I have now seems pretty healthy.
Is it safe to have 4 snails?

Well right now I've been feeding them algae wafers. Or rather, the one snail.
Also, on that note, I read they eat vegetables. Would they eat nori(dried seaweed)? I have that in abundance...

They should eat nori. Try. You may have to soak it or blanche it.

Sure if you want a population of snails. Of course you can send me the snails that you don't want and I can feed them to my clown loaches. Snails are their specialty. But the snails have to be healthy, without disease.
