Zebra Nerite Snail - Neritina Natalensis

The Zebra Nerite Snail is a popular freshwater snail known for its bold black and yellow striped shell, resembling a zebra pattern. These snails are not only attractive but also highly effective algae cleaners, making them a functional and decorative addition to planted tanks.

Zebra Nerites are peaceful, low-maintenance, and safe for both shrimp and fish tanks. They will not reproduce in freshwater, making them ideal for those who want algae control without risk of overpopulation. They prefer hard water to maintain shell health and will graze constantly on surfaces throughout the tank.
