{"product_id":"mixed-nerrite-snail","title":"Mixed Nerrite Snail","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is an assorted listing of nerite snails (Neritina sp.), so what arrives depends on what came in with the shipment. Expect a mix of shell patterns — stripes, spots, plain olive shells and sometimes horned forms — and a range of sizes. If you want a specific pattern, ask our staff what is in the tank on the day rather than ordering blind, because the mix genuinely changes from week to week.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAquarium care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMost nerites sold here sit between 1 and 3 cm depending on the type.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll of them are algae grazers, working film and soft algae off glass, wood and rock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey do not eat healthy plants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNone will breed in fresh water, since the larvae need brackish conditions to develop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFemales may still lay small white eggs on hardscape; these do not hatch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater with reasonable hardness and calcium keeps their shells from pitting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey suit planted community tanks with peaceful fish and dwarf shrimp, and they are a sensible choice where a self-limiting snail population is wanted.
