Dusky Nerite snail

Dusky nerite snails deliver dependable algae control through continuous grazing on glass, substrate, and hardscape surfaces without consuming aquatic plants. These resilient gastropods tolerate variable water parameters better than many alternatives and require minimal supplemental care beyond stable conditions and occasional algae wafer offerings. Their dark, mottled shells provide subtle aesthetic contrast in planted and community setups. Peaceful by nature, dusky nerites integrate seamlessly with fish and other invertebrates. An economical biocontrol solution for maintaining long-term tank clarity and reducing maintenance demands.
