King Koopa Nerite Snail
Description
TheseΒ King KoopaΒ Nerite Snails (Neritina Juttingae) have shortΒ distinct horns on their shell and are great Algae eaters. They also go by Fruit Nerite Snails and are an uncommon Nerite species in the hobby. They eat algae on aquarium walls, plants and substrate. These snails are also peaceful creatures and will not bother other tank inhabitants. We sell our snails at around 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch in diameter.Β
Nerite snails will not breed in your tank unlike other snails as brackish water is required for their eggs to hatch. Hence, they will not take overΒ an aquarium unlike other pest snails.Β
We feed them a combination of our own foods Shrimpy Party, protein party, blanched vegetables (Spinach and Zucchini) and Mulberry leaves.Β
Recommended Tank Parameters:
Temperature: 68F - 84F
PH: 7.4-8.4
KH: 3-14
This little guy is amazing and a great cleaner!!
The King Koopas arrived happy and healthy! They quickly began moving all around my aquarium after they were acclimated. Amazing little nerites! They have been a lot of fun to watch so far.
I got this little guy about three weeks ago; however, I was busy and that is why I am writing a review now. I received this tiny guy with my golden rabbit snail. He was packaged nicely in a wet paper towel and sealed in a plastic container. I'll admit that I was surprised over how tiny he was when I first got him. Like with my golden rabbit snail, he has been a constant joy in my tank and likes to occasionally ride the back of my Golden rabbit snail or my, much larger, zebra nirite snail. I would definitely purchase again!
Awesome snails
Very cool creatures.
Very cute very different
Super healthy and happy little guys! Thank you so much!
Haven't seen it. So must be busy in there.
He is so cute and acclimated really fast and easily. After 24hrs, he is all over the tank!
One was DOA - the other 2 seem happy!
All seem alive but still tightly tucked 2 days only 1 out of 3 moved ... can't wait til they wake up
King Koopa arrived with other orders and a heat pack then was drip acclimated for over an hour before going into the tank. I didn't expect to see any activity for a day or so but when I looked 20 minutes later the little guy was already halfway up the side of the aquarium!
It's been a few days and I'm so happy with it, has made a nice dent in the algae already and such a stylish shell
Arrived healthy and strong
Very active and lively upon acclimating.Great coloration and markings.
Love these guys, we got two, love the spikes.
Snail arrived in great condition! Happy and healthy
About the size of a penny. Very very small. Hasnβt moved an inch in my tank. In a week.
I had never seen these before I came across them here and I was pleased to see that it was exactly as shown in the photos. The only note I'd make is its quite small, about a half inch, but that's exactly what the description says!
Ordered 3 of these guys and 2 plecos. Everyone arrived securely packaged and easily transitioned into the three tanks we shared them across.
All 3 snails have been super active and are already having an impact on the tank health & cleanliness. Actually thinking about ordering another round!
Safe delivery and a happy snail
This snail π is Awesome. Love It ππΌπ
It is the size of a dime but really cute. The little Koopa has been following my other nerite around the tank. Shipping was great.
Arrived alive and doing great in my tank
Ordered 3, one was DOA but i got refunded with no issues. Other two are happy!
Snails arrived ready to clean. Great choices to choose from.
I ordered 3 snails and they all arrived happy and healthy. Thank you!
This guy is cute

Love this little guy, he is so active and my kids love trying to find him. A great addition to our tank.
