Useful and attractive! Broadly considered the gold standard in algae management, Nerites work tirelessly to keep your glass and decor spot-free! These little guys play such an impo rtant role in a balanced aquarium! They are nature's recyclers, and work tirelessly to scrub detritus, algae and fish poo from your tank. Peaceful and easy- going, these snails do not eat live plants, but you may see them resting on green foliage in order to scrub away any algae or biofilms on the surface. These guys are undemanding, but would prefer a planted, community tank within normal parameters. They do like a bit of cuttlebone here and there to keep their shells hard and clear, and will grow to about 1". Grab some of that here: Cuttlebone by Weight. These snails do not reproduce in a freshwater aquarium. They will try by leaving tiny little "pearls" on the glass and decorations. These eggs will never hatch, however, and will slowly dissolve over time. Looking for a different pattern? Visit our collection of Nerite Snails:Nerite Snails Under 40F where you are?
