These snails are generally pretty large; no less than the size of a quarter, 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.

Algae Eating Olive Nerite Snail

a.k.a. Olive Nerites, Olive Snails

Neritina reclivata

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

-THEY WILL NOT REPRODUCE IN FRESHWATER!

-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.  Great for keeping GLASS, & PLANT LEAVES clean!  NO, They won't eat your plants either.  What else could you want in a snail?

STOCK about 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.  Will NOT harm plant life. 

ONLY .79 each

Minimum order: No less than 12

Japanese Trap Door Snail 

a.k.a. Algae Eating Periwinkle Snail 

Viviparis malleatus

These are about the size of a half-dollar

STOCK 1 to 2 per 10 gallons.  Great for Ponds as well.  Do well in Cold or Warm Water.  Live bearing Snail, not egg layers. NOT GENERALLY EASY TO FIND IN THE U.S.

ONLY 2.49 each

THESE CAN BE ADDED TO YOUR PLANT ORDER!

These fellas won't harm your plants, and they'll help keep your soil aerated, kinda like havin' an earthworm in your garden except in your aquarium......Try em, they're really beneficial

Golden Clam a.k.a. Freshwater Asian Clam

Native to: Tropical South Asia, Africa, and Austrailia

(Corbicula fluminea)

Larger than a nickel, smaller than a silver dollar, USE UP TO 1 PER GALLON. You do not need to feed them, they are filter feeders, they will feed off micro-organisms and waste in your aquarium! When you first get them, acclimate them as you would any other new fish, drop them in your aquarium, and gently push them just a touch into your substrate. They prefer to bury themselves in "small" gravel or sand substrates, no large rock substrates. They will move around on their own, and will NOT disturb your plants roots.

ONLY .89 each

Minimum order: No less than 10 per order
