This stunner of a snail is the Beluga Nerite snail, also known as, White Military Helmet Snail which originates from the Indo-Pacific region. They are native to countries like Indonesia (which is where we get our Beluga snails from), Malaysian Thailand, the Philipines.
Like other nerite snails, this Nerite Snail does NOT reproduce in freshwater and it is a great addition to any planted aquariums consuming algae and scavenging for any leftover foods or decaying plant matter. Beluga Helmet Snails tend to keep most of their foot inside of the shell but are quite active. Very peaceful towards other aquarium inhabitants including nano fish, shrimp, and other snails.

Unique White Nerites!

All three little white Nerites arrived alive. I first placed them in a small container of tank water to make sure they were indeed alive, and sure enough they immediately woke up. It's been about a month so far and they are still slithering around eating algae. I really like them! In fact, I may have to get some more, they are so cute... if a snail CAN be cute!

Beluga Helmet Nerites

These snails arrived in perfect wrapping and time. They were of a good size and so pretty that I immediately ordered some more. They are all busy and seemed to adjust quickly to their new environment. I’m sticking with Aquatcmotiv for my snail go to orders.
