3/31/13 11:29 PM Can you give me any insights on what you classified this as Class A? Also, you note there's been a breeding success, but offer no success reference link. Can you post that up if you have it? Thanks!

4/1/13 02:20 PM My bad, I miss took them for Cerithium atratum on the breeding success. But the reason for the rank "A" is because these I would presume are very similar as to C. atratum, which are very easy to raise.

4/1/13 02:42 PM Do you have the reference on the other species success? If you do, I'd invite you to submit that species TOO so we can record that it's been done successfully in captivity.
