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.
Very different size and colors. They came very well packaged as I live in Maine and it was cold overnight. They knew to package a warmer. Once again, I'm impressed with the health of your fish and snails. Haven't lost one single fish or snail purchased from Flip.
Neritas came dead
Arrived promptly and healthy. Will order again
Everything arrived alive! Great stock of fish, snails, and shrimp. Provided great resources on acclimation and other information as well!
I've had really good luck with the fish that I have purchased from you all but not with snails. First order 3 out of 8 survived and this last order 1 out of 4. The pest snails from the plants always do good even if you don't want them. I don't have luck with pet shop nerite snails either.
I ordered 3 and received 4 Zebra Nerite Snails. After acclamation I placed all 4 in my tank. Unfortunately, after 4 days 3 had not moved and I threw them away. Although this didn’t bode well for the Nerite Snails I have to say they were a small part of a bigger order of fish and Mystery Snails and all of the other items appear healthy and active so I would rate the total order 5 stars. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
My order included A 3 pack of Nerites and 3 pack of Mystery Snails. I received 4 zebra Nerites of which one has done very well. The other three never moved after I received them and had to throw them away. The order came with 4 Mystery Snails and they have been active and all appear healthy. I also received a dozen fish, all of which arrived healthy and are doing well so far. Overall I’m very pleased with my order.
they were great just wish they didnt die when they fall on their back
Good size snails but 1 died
I’m not entirely sure what’s going on with these guys. I ordered 3 and got 4. I thought they acclimated fine as they were drip acclimated over a 2 hour period along with Amano shrimp. Two died 4 days in after they were bulldozing around the tank eating algae and biofilm. Another one just died 11 days in. Hopefully the last one hangs in there. My tank parameters are all healthy 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites, 10ppm nitrates, GH and KH are in a range feasible for nerites. Temperature ranges between 77-79. I have 6 Amano shrimp thriving along with 10 leopard endlers, and 12 Pygmy corys I bought and stocked the tank the same day. I’m wondering if maybe they were compromised already during shipping and never really recovered well? From my understanding most of them are wild caught anyway, not sure if that’s the case here at flip aquatics, but it’s a bummer they are all dying ☹️ five stars for everyone else though!
3 Zebra Nerite Snails
It was difficult to tell if the snails were alive when they arrived, so we placed all 4 in the tank. We could quickly tell that one was alive, as it moved around the sides of the tank. The other 3 stayed in the same place on the bottom for about a week before I took them out for a smell test, and they were dead. Hard to know if they were ever alive, or they died during acclimation.
Snails look great & came very healthy
The snails were delivered on time, healthy and beautiful. I started including snails in my tanks as cleaners and they certainly contribute in that regard but I mostly include a diverse set of them for their appearance now as well. All snails I’ve received from flip have been healthy and are happy in my tanks!
Was very pleased with my order.
3 Zebra Nerite Snails
3 Zebra Nerite Snails
Snails look great & came very healthy. That's my 2nd time buying from Flip Aquatics & they did not disapoint again! I will definitly be buying from them again.
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!
3 Zebra Nerite 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!
