Congratulations!!!
Why wouldn't the Opae Ula share his food? Because he was a little shellfish 
A dedicated forum and online store for the Opae ula shrimp!
Wahoo!
Just an update as it has been a pretty long time. My opae ula are breeding each summer like crazy, I went from 8 oape ula (after the second start) to around 200 right now :-)
The aquarium looks pretty nice with all my friends swimming around!:-)
Last two years I only have one snail and he seems to be doing pretty well. As my group of opae ula expanded this much I will try to see how the aquarium evolves without the snail (whenever he decides to die)

Some of my Nerite snails are still fine after nearly 7 years, you will have it a lot longer yet.
My tank is still doing well. Not much breeding anymore, 1 or 2 pregnancies each year so probably the population has found a healthy and stable number. Tried a few times without the snail (when it died) but my windows get a bit blurry so I keep 1 sprint snail in there, with very clean windows and never had any issues with it.
+ the kids love to play hide and seek with the snail
