Zebra Nerite Snails Neritina natalensis are a popular choice for people looking for a natural and effective solution to algae control in their aquariums. These small but hardy snails are native to freshwater and brackish waters in Indonesia and the Philippines.
One of the main benefits of Zebra Nerite Snails is their ability to consume large amounts of algae in a short period of time, without causing harm to other aquatic life. They are known for their voracious appetite and can be relied on to keep your aquarium clean and healthy. In addition to algae and biofilm, these snails also eat the leftover food and debris left behind by other organisms.
If you're new to keeping aquarium snails, taking care of Zebra Nerite Snails is fairly easy. They prefer a temperature range of 72-78 degrees Fahrenheit, with a pH of 7.5-8.5. They can tolerate a range of water hardness levels. However, it's important to note that they do require a source of calcium to maintain healthy shells. You can provide calcium through specific snail food or supplements to ensure their shells remain strong and beautiful.
In summary, Zebra Nerite Snails are a fantastic option for those looking to keep their aquariums clean and free of algae. With little maintenance required and their algae-eating abilities, they're a popular choice for both novice and experienced hobbyists.
Every order comes with 1 Zebra Nerite Snail.

I was very pleased and it is growing well. Thank you!
The plants all came quickly and were healthy. I had enough to split into three aquariums and they are all doing fine and growing. Thank you!
All three Green Jade Mystery Snails were dead. I opened the box and floated their bag in my aquarium for about an hour. Opened bag and allowed them to sink to the bottom. After about 30 hours on the bottom it was obvious they were DOA! Last time I will try to purchase online with live product.
