The orange ring nerite snails that I received are larger and darker than I expected. They are very active and quite the escape artists. Make sure you have a tight fitting lid. I have at least a few nerites in each of my aquariums.
Description
Originating from South America, the Spixi Snail is a very unique aquatic snail. Somewhat rare in the aquarium hobby, the spixi snail is very active and can be easily identified by its gorgeous shell coloration - unlike any other aquatic mollusk, spixi snails have very smooth yellow shells with black stripes.
