Nerite snails or Neritina natalensis are freshwater snails related to the mollusk family. They are from the East coast of Africa and are found in rivers and streams. These snails come in a variety of colors and patterns including Zebra, Leopard, Helmet, and Olive. Nerite snails are common in the aquarium hobby as they are excellent algae eaters.
Due to the variety of these, the type in every pack will vary, and is not guaranteed to look exactly like the photos.
They will clean algae from glass, substrate, and décor. Another reason nerite snails are so popular in the aquarium hobby is 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.
The snails arrived lively and ready to eat! They were immediately active in their transport bag and even while acclimating. Once they were placed into the tank, they went straight to work. We are having a bit of an algae issue right now, so there is lots for them to do(eat!). We also received a free extra, I guess due to the size of two of them being on the smaller side, though that's not an issue for us, they will grow.
All the critters were alive and well. Thank you.
Love the colors
