Pond Snails
Large Pond Snails

These snails are generally pretty large; usually no less than the size of a quarter (except for Nerites), and can grow up to the size of a silver-dollar, or in the apple snails case-they get as large as a baseball in diameter!  Generally, the following snails are used in ponds, and sometimes aquariums with no plants, as they will eat them when they run out of algae to eat.   However, we do keep them in our planted pools here at our nursery without any trouble.  Some states may have local restrictions on bringing certain species of snails in from other states, we may not be able to ship ALL varieties to you. 

PICTURED ABOVE: OUR DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF MYSTERY SNAILS

 

Algae Eating Olive Nerite Snail

a.k.a. Olive Nerites, Olive Snails
Neritina reclivata

TEMP: 50 - 100   pH: 6.2 - 8.5

-Probably One of the Best Algae Eating Snails you will ever Own!

-THEY WILL NOT REPRODUCE IN FRESHWATER!

-NO! THEY WILL NOT EAT YOUR PLANTS!

These little fellas are actually about the size of a dime or a marble, and have neat little barnacles growing on the shells.  Probably about the best algae eating snail for aquariums in the world, as they DO NOT reproduce in freshwater, but only in brackish or saltwater.  YES, we have them here at the nursery in our FRESHWATER pools so you need not worry about any acclimation process unless you want them BACK in Saltwater.  They may lay "pretzel- salt-looking" eggs, but they won't hatch unless the eggs are laid in, at least, brackish water at an optimum temp.  Great for keeping GLASS, & PLANT LEAVES clean!  NO, They won't eat your plants either.  What else could you want in a snail?

STOCKING INFO: use 1 per gallon or more.  Not easy to breed, as they are actually a brackish water snail (brackish water is where they are prolific).  Excellent algae eating snail for freshwater aquariums and also Marine as well!    Will NOT harm plant life.
