BBA Algae Eating Snail - Nerite?

[fl4ian]

thanks for the info. if the label is above the picture then it will be a regular zebra nerite, it's on your hand and would guess that it is nickel-sized or maybe even a little bigger, which would also indicate that it wouldn't be a green tiger...

do you have a pretty consistent stock of these dudes? or is it a get-em-while-they're-hot kind of deal?

I am about out now, I plan on keeping them in stock. Sometimes I may run out, but I plan on continuing to import them as long as people continue to want to buy them

The zebra was in my hand I believe, they have striping, while the green tigers are more zig zaggy and mottled in their patterning.

In my experience, nerites eat BBA as well.

They find the algae, dont worry. Yes they will eat vegetables especially cucumber and courgette. All nerites (I think) dont get bigger than 1".

Correct me if I'm wrong invert junkies!

Red font-That's going to be a challenge actually. Not all nerites will easily go crazy over prepared food preferring algae above the rest.

As for the size, it depends on the species. Not all nerites remain at one inch.

have yours eaten all kinds of algae like BBA, brown diatom, green spot, etc.?

Mine ate all of those you mentioned.
