Description

Naturally from India, these Nerite Snails are some of the hardest to find in the aquarium hobby. They are easy to breed in captivity but their eggs will only hatch in brackish water, so you don't have to worry about them breeding in your aquarium. Nerite snails are extremely hardy and live in a vast variety of water parameters. They are very good scavengers that will dig under the gravel, if needed, to get that extra algae meal.

  • Great for planted tanks;
  • Will not breed in freshwater;
  • Active - Nerites are at work 24/7;
  • Safe for plants and any other aquarium inhabitants;;
  • The BEST at eating algae.
Nerite Snails eat a big variety of foods such as: 
  • Algae
  • Invertebrate Pellets
  • Decaying Plant Matter
  • Zucchini

  • Tank size(Minimum): 10 Gal

  • Temperature: 72-82
  • PH: 6.8-8.4

This company truly cares! The snails always come packaged so well, you can tell they put time and effort in. The variety they have on the site at any given time is far better than most, and the pricing is extremely fair as well. Owner is a cool guy as well, thank you AquaticMotiv!

One was an empty shell

One of the three snails arrived as just a shell with not a dead snail inside, but no snail inside other than happy with the purchase

Hello. These snails tuck themselves in extremely deep to the point when the operculum is hard to see or not able to be seen at all. We always recommend adding the snails to your aquarium and give them some time. You can also reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns upon arrival. We're always here, ready to help. Thank you.
