These Red Racer Nerite Snails are not only beautiful, but they are great algae eaters. They eat algae on aquarium walls, plants and substrates. These snails are also peaceful creatures and will not bother other tank inhabitants. We sell our snails at around 1/2 inch in diameter but they can grow up to 1 inch in diameter.
Red Racer Nerite Snails are native to the Philippines and are relatively rare to the hobby here in the states. They are truly gorgeous with their unique patterns. We don't usually carry them so get them while they are still in stock! :)
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 over an aquarium, unlike other pest snails.
We feed them a combination of our own foods Shrimpy Party, protein party, blanched vegetables (Spinach and Zucchini), and Mulberry leaves.
B-grade Snails are snails that have more chips on their shells and/or have more subtle patterns on their shells. They are otherwise healthy snails that can make a great tank cleaning crew!
Recommended Tank Parameters:

Customer Reviews
These snails are more beautiful than the excellent pics on the site suggest. They are slow-moving and so peaceful. Such a lovely and elegant addition to a fish tank.
So far the little red marbles (snails) crawling around are great, easier to spot. Nice little addition for my tank.
The snails are doing great, working as they should. Doing a job on the thin layer of algae on the glass walls.
My snail arrived quickly and healthy. Amazing colors. He's already going to work on the algae. I'm very happy with my order and will be using this business in the future.
Snails much smaller than expected but that is probably a misreading on my part. They we shipped in a small plastic dish with a wet paper towel substance. That surprised me and it they had been delayed i the heat I am sure they would not have made it.
