Zebra Nerite Snail
These Zebra 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. We sell our snails at around 1 inch in diameter. These snails are named after the unique Zebra patterns they have on their shells.
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 up algae on the glass and plants without causing any issues. They’re active and stay in one place, which is great for a low-maintenance setup. No breeding, which is a relief after dealing with other snail problems.

The zebra pattern is striking and they look great in my 10-gallon tank. They don’t eat anything other than algae, and they don’t seem to interfere with my fish. Easy to care for and very peaceful.

They arrived healthy and have been active since day one. I noticed a small amount of algae reduction after a week. They don’t breed, which is a big plus. A little more info on pH range would help, but overall very satisfied.
