Tiger Nerite Snail
These Tiger Nerite Snails are not only beautiful, but they are great algae eaters. They eat algae on aquarium walls, plants, and substrate. These snails are also peaceful creatures and will not bother other tank inhabitants.
Nerite snails will not breed in your tank unlike other snails as brackish water is required for their eggs to hatch. Hence, they will not take over an aquarium unlike other pest snails.
We feed them a combination of our own foods: Shrimpy Party, Protein Party, blanched vegetables (Spinach and Zucchini), and Mulberry leaves.

I’ve had these snails for three months and they’ve cleaned the algae off my glass walls without causing any issues. They’re active and don’t seem to compete with my fish. Easy to care for and very peaceful.

The snails arrived healthy and have been eating algae consistently. No signs of breeding, which is a relief. I appreciate that they don’t overpopulate the tank.

They look great and help keep the tank clean. I feed them the recommended vegetables and they seem to enjoy it. A little slower than expected to start eating, but now they’re active.
