Tiger Nerite Snail
Neritina natalensis, or Nerite snails, are freshwater snails that are common in the aquarium hobby as they are well-known for being excellent algae eaters. They will eat algae off of glass, substrate, and décor and will not eat live plants. They do not reproduce in freshwater (only brackish water) and hence will not overpopulate...

Customer Reviews
I wish I saw my snail more often because, to be honest, I've only seen it two times since I bought it. It's definitely in there living its life though. I think the tiger version is the coolest of the non-horned varieties. It was smaller than I expected, but hopefully that means it's super young and will live a long time. I especially love that I won't wake up one day with 80 new snails in the tank like I would with mystery snails.
