3 Nerite Snails (Neritina Natalensis and Neritina Semiconica)

*MIXED PACK*

Naturally from India, these Nerite Snails are very common 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. Tiger Nerite snails are usually orange in coloration and have very noticeable black dots on the shell, while it's very close cousin, the Zebra Nerite, has a stripped black and green/yellowish shell.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.

  • Algae
  • Invertebrate Pellets
  • Decaying Plant Matter
  • Zucchini

I expected a nicer color variety of snails - similar to the Mixed Pack pictured on the website. I received a Black Racer and two other darker colored varieties.
One of the three plants I ordered was badly damaged and the other two (same variety) were very small starts, but in decent condition.
I had ordered a heat pack for winter temperatures and when I opened the box the heat pack was only a cold pack. I'm assuming the heat pack was warm when my order was packed, but who knows how long it retained heat.Thankfully, I ordered an insulated box, which is what probably helped the snails survive their journey.

The reason I mention the heat pack is because I've ordered live animals and plants from other companies and the heat packs have always had some warmth left when I opened the package.

Alive and well

The snails I received are all doing well in my tank. The packaging was great and they stayed nice and warm. They started eating algae on the glass and plants right away. Their shells are beautiful and dont have any imperfections that I can see.

Three snails delivered. One was dead...left him in the same place for a week just to be sure. Second snail disappeared, hasn't been seen since. Maybe alive? Maybe not. Third snail, the biggest one...is fine. It was very hot and delivery was not quick. So I guess the big guy will have to eat a lot of algae.
