Aquatic Arts 3 Red Racer Nerite Snails | Nano Tank Snail | Safe with Betta/Tetra/Guppy Fish or Dwarf Shrimp Aquariums

Red Racer Nerite Snails are extraordinarily beautiful freshwater snails and one of the rarest snail species available. Their shells vary in appearance and feature striking patterns. These prime aquarium snails are known as the best eating snails in the aquarium hobby. They reduce the aquarium green bloom effect because they consume uneaten fish food, plus they wipe off aquarium glass, aquatic plants, tank substrate, and tank decorations. They are peaceful and safe to keep with any nonaggressive live fish, aquarium shrimp, and freshwater plants (such as a Marimo Moss Ball, java moss, etc.). These colorful snails require salt water to reproduce and will not overpopulate your home aquarium like other freshwater snails. With a life expectancy of up to 4 years, they are relatively long-lived compared to most other snails. They are perfect for plant tanks. Some Nerite Snails are finicky about eating dry snail food, but typically enjoy spirulina, wafers, and other foods with plenty of plant content. Nerite Snail is sometimes misspelled as Nerita Snail. While this snail can live in a wide variety of pH levels, it will live for much longer in alkaline water of over 7.0 pH. Acidic water increases susceptibility to shell erosion; we recommend a calcium supplement maintaining the quality of this snail's magnificent shell. Basic aquarium tools are required, such as a filter system (e.g. UV fish filter) and filter media (e.g. foam filter block).CARE GUIDELINES:- Temperature: 71.6° - 87.8° F (22° - 28° C) - pH: 6.5 - 8.0, although its lifespan will generally be longer in alkaline pH - KH: 2 - 12 dKH - Minimum tank size: 3 gallons per snail - Average adult size: 1.2" (3 cm) - Average purchase size: ½ - 1" (1.3 - 2.5 cm) - Aquatic Arts is an American aquarium company!
