I added a handful of 1" olive nerites to one of my tanks a couple of weeks ago. They seem to be doing well, and really do munch on all kinds of algae, BBA included.

I do have some concerns about their long-term care and cannot find much info on Google. Do I need to be adding a calcium source at all?

My water seems appropriate to prevent shell erosion from what info I could find: pH of 7.6, kH and gH of 7-8. Any general care suggestions for these guys would be great!
