DO NOTE: some of our Nerite Snails MIGHT have imperfect shells or a calcium deficiency, but this will gradually be fixed if you feed them a well-balanced diet with a good calcium source.

Best snail around

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.
