Nerite Snail – A peaceful, algae-eating snail known for its beautiful patterned shell and excellent tank-cleaning abilities. Ideal for both freshwater and brackish aquariums.
Nerite Snail (Neritina spp.)
The Nerite Snail is one of the most popular and effective algae-eating snails in the aquarium hobby. Known for its unique shell patterns—ranging from zebra stripes, tiger spots, to olive spirals—this snail is both a functional cleaner and a decorative addition to any freshwater or brackish tank.
Nerite Snails are prized for their ability to control algae without damaging live plants. They graze on glass, rocks, driftwood, and decorations, clearing up green spot algae, soft film algae, and diatoms. Unlike other snails, Nerites cannot reproduce in freshwater, so there’s no risk of overpopulation.
They grow up to 1 inch, thrive in temperatures of 22–28°C (72–82°F), and prefer a pH of 7.0–8.5. These snails do best in tanks with stable water parameters and minimal copper, as they are sensitive to it. A tight-fitting lid is recommended, as they may occasionally try to climb out.
Nerite Snails are peaceful and safe with all fish, shrimp, and plants. They should be provided with ample algae or supplemented with algae wafers and blanched vegetables if the tank is too clean.
With proper care, Nerite Snails can live 1–2 years, and sometimes longer. Their natural beauty, low bioload, and algae-cleaning efficiency make them a perfect choice for aquarists of all levels.
