Nerite snails are one of the most valuable members of the freshwater aquariums cleanup crew. With a voracious appetite for algae, long lifespan, and ornamental shells, its not hard to see why! Their inability to breed in freshwater and the fact that they do not eat live plants certainly give them a one-up over most other popular snails, as well. While female nerites will stay lay eggs, especially on dark surfaces, they will not hatch and can be easily scratched off.

Vittina spp.

Do note that nerite snails are highly variable creatures and recieved animals may look different from the photos on our website. Every nerite is unique!
