Nerite snails are one of the best algae eating animal you can find for an aquarium. They are also known as Neritina sp. The snails we ship are adult size ranging from .5-1.5 inches in diameter, and range in colors and patterns.

Background and Key Benefits

Nerite snails or Neritina sp. are freshwater snails related to the mollusk family. They will clean algae from glass, substrate, and décor. They are also so popular in our hobby because they do not reproduce in freshwater. In the wild these snails return to brackish water to breed and the baby snails require brackish water for early stages of growth. Therefore, Nerite snails will not overpopulate in an aquarium.

Along with serving practical purposes in the aquarium, the snails have  beautiful shells and they are fun to watch. If you look at your glass closely after adding them, you will see the tiny track marks these snails make as they graze on algae!

We keep these snails on pool filtered sand and in bare bottom tanks with a Matten filters. We feed Shrimp King Algae Pops and Shrimp King Snail Stixx along with Indian Almond Leaves for natural biofilm. We also use LED lighting to provide enough natural algae growth  for them to feed. 

Please note: During shipping, snails sometimes go into a hibernation-like state and may not become fully active for up to a week once acclimated to your aquarium.

Nirite snails

I ordered 3 Nirite Snails. To my surprise, there were 4 very healthy and active snails in my package. They’re busy all over my tank, sometimes climbing their way into my filter sump, but returning to the tank at will. I have not been disappointed with any of my orders from Flip Aquatics. Their plants and animals are in fantastic health!

Zebra Nerite Snail Order

The 3+1 team arrived in good condition and have transitioned well to my set-up. Have already had a great impact on algae control. Very pleased!
