X25 Zebra Nerite Snails Package – Fresh Water Fish Mystery
Recommended Tank Parameters:

Notes from the owner: Snails are very sensitive to copper, so watch out for copper if you use tap water in your tank. They also need a decent amount of calcium in their water to maintain their shell health, which can be helped by feeding the snails foods rich in calcium (such as kale, spinach, and other greens), by floating a cuttle bone in the water, or by using additives.

The snails arrived quickly and are active in my 10-gallon tank. I adjusted the water hardness and added a cuttle bone. They’ve been eating algae and seem healthy after a week.

They’re a good addition to my freshwater setup. I made sure to avoid copper-based products and keep the pH stable. The snails are active and help clean the tank.

I followed the care tips and added spinach and a cuttle bone. The snails have grown strong shells and are not showing any signs of stress.
