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.

It’s easy to point the finger and not help out a customer. Not great customer service I’ll find another website to order from.
All 5 snails arrived alive and well. I don't know much about snails but didn't get a duplicate of any type.
