Description
Nerite snails (Clithon oualaniensis) are extremely popular for their unique patterns and colours, as well as their practical benefits. They work hard to clean algae off aquatic plants, in fact, nerite snails are widely believed to be the single best snail in the aquarium hobby for obliterating algae off glass, rocks, live plants, driftwood, and other types of decorations.
Nerite Snails are completely peaceful, and therefore safe to keep with any fish, shrimp, live plants, or other snails.

✔️ Consumes all types of algae and waste matter in its path
✔️ Does not overpopulate the tank when placed in freshwater

Recommended Tank Parameters
- pH level range: 7 to 8.4
- Temperature range: 22-26C
- Water type: kH 12-18; gH 8-18
- Notes: Snails are very sensitive to copper, so please keep it at a minimum. They also need sufficient calcium in their water to maintain shell health, which can be helped with greens, by floating a cuttle bone in the water, or by using calcium additives.
