The O-Ring Nerite Snail (Neritodryas javanica) is a neat freshwater snail with a shiny shell marked by bright rings. It is one of the hardiest nerite snails that we import which means it is easy to keep in home aquariums. This peaceful snail spends its time munching on algae, helping keep your tank clean.
O-Ring Nerite Snails mostly stay on the bottom but will also climb plants and glass. They do best in tanks that already have some algae and biofilm. Keeping just one or a few snails lets them control algae without running out of natural food.
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.
