Product information "Nerita tesselata - Checkered Nerite"

Nerita tesselata - Napfschnecke

Nerita snails are absolutely peaceful and pure algae eaters.

They can and should be kept in groups, as they naturally occur in groups in the wild.

They prefer to attach their egg packets to the shells of their kind.

The snails move relatively little but thoroughly clean the immediate area by feeding.

They are also suitable for small aquariums, including nano tanks.
