Assorted Pumpkin Nerite Snails | 3 Pack
Assorted Pumpkin Nerite Snails are small freshwater snails with shells that can range from bright yellow to golden orange, sometimes with unique patterns. No two look exactly the same. Some have thin stripes, while others have speckles or other cool markings. They usually stay under about an inch, which makes them a great cleanup crew for both nano tanks and larger community aquariums. Like most nerite snails, they love grazing on algae and will spend their time cleaning glass, rocks, and decorations around the tank. Plus, their bright colored shells add a fun pop of color to any setup.

Received the snails in good condition. The colors are vibrant and each one has a unique pattern. They’ve been in my 10-gallon tank for two weeks and are already cleaning the glass and decorations. No issues with fish or plants. A great addition to any aquarium.

The snails arrived quickly and look exactly as described. I was worried about algae buildup, but they’ve made a noticeable difference in the tank’s cleanliness. A little bit of maintenance is still needed, but they’re a solid help.

I’ve had several snail varieties before, but these pumpkin nerites stand out in color and activity. They’re active and don’t seem to get stressed. My tank is now much cleaner, especially on the sides and rocks.
