The Spotted Nerite Snail is a beautifully patterned algae-eater covered in black spots on a golden or olive shell. It is highly effective at keeping glass and décor clean while remaining completely safe for plants. Peaceful and non-breeding in freshwater, it grows to about 1 inch (2.5 cm).
The snails are sensitive to ammonia and should not be put in tanks with a high bioload.
