Spiral Horn Snail – Clithon corona

Nerite Snails (Neritina sp.) 

Q: Why are Nerite Snails popular for aquariums?

A: Nerite Snails (Neritina sp.) are excellent algae eaters, making them a top choice for keeping aquariums clean. They efficiently consume green spot algae, diatoms, and biofilm without harming plants, making them a natural and effective tank maintenance solution.

Q: Will Nerite Snails reproduce in my freshwater tank?

A: No, while Nerite Snails lay eggs in freshwater, they require brackish water to hatch, so there’s no risk of overpopulation like with other snails.

Q: What do Nerite Snails eat?

A: They primarily eat algae but will also accept blanched vegetables, algae wafers, and calcium-rich supplements to maintain a healthy shell.

Q: What are the ideal tank conditions for Nerite Snails?

A: Nerite Snails thrive in well-maintained aquariums with:

• pH: 7.0-8.5
• Temperature: 72-82°F
• Tank Size: 5 gallons or larger
• Water Hardness: Medium to hard water (for strong shell development)

Q: Are Nerite Snails compatible with other tank mates?

A: Yes! They are peaceful and safe for community tanks, coexisting well with fish, shrimp, and other non-aggressive invertebrates. Avoid housing them with aggressive fish that may nip at their shells.

Q: How many Nerite Snails should I add to my tank?

A: For effective algae control, use one Nerite Snail per 5 gallons of water. Adding too many can lead to food shortages if algae levels are low.
