Product Description

This Nerite Snail combo pack includes 10 Nerite Snails of 2 different varieties: 5 Zebra Nerites
and 5 Tiger Nerites.
Nerite Snails are known as one of the best algae eaters in the world. These live snails require
salt water to reproduce and won’t overpopulate your aquarium like other freshwater snails.
They reduce the need for a UV sterilizer because they feed on will consume uneaten fish food
and waste, plus they clean algae off aquarium glass, aquatic plants, and tank decorations. They
also eat hair algae and clean and filter your aquarium substrate. These snails are peaceful and
safe to keep with any nonaggressive freshwater fish, freshwater shrimp, and aquarium plants
(such as Marimo Moss Balls, java moss, etc.).
Tiger Nerite Snail (Neritina semiconica) shells are a dark amber color with small black markings
that form encircling stripes. Zebra Nerite Snail (Neritina natalensis) shells have gold and black
zebra-like stripes. They range from 1/2 to 1 inch in diameter, and while most remain around 1
inch throughout their lifespan, the occasional snail will reach 1.5 inches. They only eat algae
and are perfectly suitable for plant aquariums. Some Nerite Snails are finicky about eating dry
snail pellets, but typically enjoy spirulina, algae wafers, and other plant-based foods.
“Nerite Snail” is sometimes misspelled as Nerrite Snail. We recommend keeping the water line
relatively low and spaced far from your aquarium rim, as this snail will occasionally climb up
beyond the water line. Nerite Snails may help reduce the need for a filter brush due to their
cleaning abilities.
