Mixed Nerite Snails x4

Mixture of Zebra Nerites and Onion Nerite snails

Freshwater Nerite snails are so efficient that you might contemplate introducing several of them across various tanks. For those who maintain planted tanks, there's no need to fret; these snails won't damage, uproot, or consume the plants. In terms of algae control and cleaning, Nerite snails are second to none. They methodically feed on algae in one spot before advancing. Once their impact becomes evident, you might find yourself wishing they'd speed up to address other algae-rich regions of the aquarium.

Considering the Nerite snail as a hassle-free way to tackle an algae issue is apt. While these snails are nearly flawless, there's a minor drawback: they leave "feeding marks." However, if they sense a decrease in algae, they might return to clean up these spots. The presence of Nerites in an algae-infested tank makes a difference almost immediately upon introduction. They nibble on the algae similarly to goats munching on grass. For optimal results, consider adding multiple snails based on the tank's volume and dimensions.
