Description

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.

Disappointed: Dead Snails on Arrival

I ordered six snails, but unfortunately, all but one were dead when I received them. I didn’t realize this at the time.

When I opened the package, I found a rectangular piece of wet paper towel in a plastic bag. I cut open the plastic bag and unfolded the paper towel to reveal six snails with their lids closed. I thought they might be closed from the stress of their trip, so I immediately put them in a jar and started drip-acclimating them to my fish tank’s water.

After an hour of acclimating, they still had their lids closed. I put them in my tank, and one of them started moving after a few hours. I was thrilled to have six new beluga snails! But after 24 hours, the other five snails remained motionless.

I took them out to check on them, and an overwhelming smell hit my nostrils. I tried separating them to see if it was just one snail, but unfortunately, they all had the same unbearable smell. They had to be put in the trash.

If all of them had been alive, I would give them five stars. If they had been properly packaged, I would probably give them three stars. However, the fact that all of them were wrapped in paper towel and all but one were dead justifies only one star.

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.
