I added a few Green Tiger Nerite Snails to my planted tank and they’ve been actively eating algae on the glass and plant surfaces. Their shell pattern is very eye-catching and they don’t seem to stress the fish. Easy to keep and a great addition to the tank’s aesthetic.

The snails are active and help keep the tank clean without causing any issues. I noticed less green algae buildup after introducing them. They look more natural and attractive than regular cleanup snails.

Great for a low-maintenance planted tank. They don’t breed like other snails and stay peaceful. I’ve had them for three months and they’re still active and healthy.
