About This Species
These Tiger Nerite Snails are not only beautiful, but they are great algae eaters. 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 1 inch in diameter.
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.

The snails arrived alive and all of them are still doing great. Their shells are really pretty. Shopping was prompt and they were well packed. Excellent experience.
So beautiful! Both of the tigers that I bought came in happy and healthy! One is giant and the other a medium/small size and both have great bold patterns. They were packaged very well, and were instantly active and cruising around the tank when I added them! They both have very slight shell damage, just some minor cracking, so nothing too bad and I expect that won't slow them down at all! So pleased with my purchase, and will definitely order again!
My husband's favorite
My 3 snails arrived. Well packaged. I did take time to acclimate them to their respective new homes. They are doing great. It’s been one week and they are active little snails. They appeared healthy and have no shown any issues. They did seem to be a little stunned showing no signs of life when I first opened the box. I placed them in cups and slowly added more and more tank water over the course of an hour. Ironically the smallest snail started moving around first. The larger 2 snails took a little more time to show any signs of movement.I noticed their antennae appear firstand I could see them slowly coming out. I’d say to take time and slowly acclimate them and give them time to adjust. Once inside the tanks, they don’t sit still. I had no idea that snails moved around so much. Will definitely be purchasing more snails in the future.
So far, so good.
Too cute
Beautiful snails, good size, just sucks that they're wild caught instead of tank bred.
Came exactly as advertised and started grazing immediately after acclimating.
Arrived healthy and strong. Beautiful.
Tiger snail is great!!!
Awesome and pretty
Got a health and big snail, much bigger then I expected.
Ordered 3 tiger nerite snails along with 9 other nerite snails and all arrived alive and healthy.
Arrived in perfect condition. In my tank and doing great!! Thanks!!!
I bought 2 Tiger Nerite snails and both arrived earlier than expected with lots of updates of their arrival. They are beautiful and both are doing great!
Perfect companions for my betta fish tank
Snails shipped quickly and arrived alive. Within 15 minutes of putting them in the tank they were busy mowing the algae lawn.
Tiny but mighty. Two weeks later they are thriving and excited to be home. One is pretty shy but is very willing to work with the rest of the family to make sure chores are done and bills are paid. Two of the three got jobs the second day they arrived to quickly contribute to the family fund. They were obviously raised with love.
Cute guys. Alive and eat a ton of algae.
Super stoked. Love the coloring on the shell and is now living comfortably in my tank with some friends.
This was my second order from them. Once again it came packaged very well. Although one snail was dead I don’t blame them or there packaging, it was bound to happen. Super excited to put in my shrimp order with them next week! I highly recommend Shrimpy Business for your next order
This is probably the fourth or fifth order I have placed with this company and as always everything is alive and well at delivery. The tiger nerite that was delivered to me is an absolute hulk of a snail. These snails seem to be pretty hardy with water parameters and easily adjustable. I introduced small amounts of tank water over the period of a few hours and put them in the tank that day. Since they’ve been in my main tank, I’ve had absolutely no problems. They are surprisingly adventurous and hide quite well. I would recommend buying from this company as I have and will continue to do.
