3 Nerite Snails | Mixed Pack

The Pack
A starter mix of nerite snails, the go-to algae eaters for planted tanks. They are hardy, very easy to keep, and work around the clock. Shells may show small flaws, and they can live up to 4 years.

What's Inside
Tiger nerites (Neritina semiconica), orange with black dots, and zebra nerites (Neritina natalensis), black stripes over green or yellow. Water: 72–82°F, pH 6.8–8.4, in a tank of 10 gallons or larger.

Why Shrimp Keepers Like It
Nerites scrub algae off glass, rock, wood and leaves, and eat leftover pellets and dead plant matter, without harming shrimp or plants. Their eggs only hatch in brackish water, so they never take over a freshwater tank. Never use copper.

Tank Mates
Good with: shrimp of any size, other snails and peaceful nano or community fish. Avoid: loaches, puffers, crayfish, crabs and large cichlids, which eat snails. Assassin snails sometimes go after small nerites.
