Description

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. 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 
Care for them:
  • Tank size(Minimum): 10 Gal
  • Care: Very Easy
  • Temperature: 72-82
  • PH: 6.8-8.4
  • GH: 6-8
  • KH: 2-12
  • Lifespan: up to 4 Years
It is possible that some snails have some shell defects from their wild encounters.
DO NOT USE COPPER IN AQUARIUMS CONTAINING SNAILS!

Bad CS and snails not what shown or even close.

Replied. Got a CS response not acceptable. Replied again and just replaced. My review is not only the snails but the CS.

Did not get anything close to what i ordered and claim 2 days shipping while my email notification proves 5.
Full response so not hidden.

Didn’t get what was shown and box HOT
Pic shows equal sized bright colors. All are dark brown and deep orange. Under the lights they brighter than my initial look still not even close to the image. Pic and description doesn’t really indicate size but larger my thing all and smallest smaller than my pinky nail. Package delayed. Emails bouncing. Had to call and told they would not ship when too hot but then shipped 1-3 days over weekend so too more like 5. Paid for ice pack. My bad on not reading description. Ice pack was itty bitty and HOT AF too. Surprised the snails lived to be honest. Buy a big pack of ice bag if buying.

Hello. Thank you for your review. We are happy they made it safely and apologize for the color not being as expected. Zebra and tiger nerite snails all have a pretty basic and consistent color but we would love for you to send some pictures of the snails received so we can see how dark they are and improve where we can. Color on live animals will always vary slightly and can be different depending on the light source available in each aquarium. We were not able to ship the order as temperatures were above 100 degrees. We shipped your snails and plants the week after the heat wave and they arrived in 2 days. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and will always try to improve. Thank you.

Great little workhorses

These little snails do a great job of algae control. They arrived in great condition and are so pretty. I will get more soon. Thank you from K in Texas.
