Nerite Snail

Nerite Snails are a popular species of freshwater and brackish water snails known for their vibrant, patterned shells, which come in various designs, such as stripes and spots. Native to coastal regions and river mouths of Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Americas, these snails are highly valued in aquariums for their excellent algae-cleaning abilities.
 
Nerite Snails thrive in stable, well-maintained tanks with water temperatures between 72-78°F (22-26°C). They are peaceful and make great additions to community aquariums, as they do not bother other tank mates. One of their key benefits is that they don’t reproduce in freshwater, so they won’t overpopulate the tank.
 
Their diet consists primarily of algae, but they can also be fed algae wafers or vegetables. With proper care, Nerite Snails can live up to 2 years, keeping the aquarium clean while adding beauty with their uniquely patterned shells.
