Onion Nerite Snail

Nerite snails are a great addition to any planted tank. Nerite snails do not reproduce in freshwater so they will never overpopulate your tank.

All nerite snails are known as one of, if not the most, efficient algae eaters out of all aquarium snails. They really like soft algae, green algae, hair algae, brown algae, and even black beard algae if no other sources of food are available.
