Description

Naturally from Asia, 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. Red Pumpkin Nerite Snails have an amazing shell color which can vary - from red and pink with unique white dots/scribbles, to orange/yellowish with dark stripes. They are very good scavengers that will dig under the gravel, if needed, to get that extra algae meal.

So Awesome! I should've ordered more! I will in my next order!

These are small, as was stated in the item description, about the size of a Pea, and SO COOL looking!
1 is being shy and hasn't come out of its shell yet, but it's operculum is intact and it doesn't have the 'smell of death' so I think it'll be fine.
Packaging was excellent, with each bag (I ordered 6 different kinds of snails) double bagged and so full of oxygen they were like tight balloons. The thick paper towel was water soaked. Each bag was packed tightly into the box so they couldn't bounce around and they were all double wrapped in bubble wrap inside the Styrofoam box insert, that was well worth the price, inside the shipping box.
Shipping, from my ordering to their collecting the 16 snails of 6 different species, to packing and taking to the USPS was quick! From there, it's out of AquaticMotiv's control and completely on the USPS to do things correctly. For some unknown reason, the
USPS first sent them to Puerto Rico, instead of Reno, and it took 5 days! Which i reported to AquaticMotiv
and they replied within hours, apologized for the USPS
and let me know that if there was any problem once I received the snails, theyd have my back. But the snails arrived the next day and all seemed fine.
I've bought plants a few times before, and now snails, and never disappointed.
Francisco is a wonderful human being and quick to reply and help! Thank you again, Francisco!
Highly recommend!

Overall decent, shipping seemed to take a bit longer than expected but I know that wasn't ther fault. Ordered 3, all 3 came in fine but one of my guys seems to have kicked the bucket a week in. Don't think I can return or replace him as it's out of the time frame and we're not doa. So that sucks. Other 2 guys are alive and kicking.

Pretty little snails. Arrived a little sluggish, but they are starting to come around.
