Red Pumpkin Nerite Snail

These little snails are so incredibly vibrant and super cute on the glass of my tank. I didn't expect them to be so tiny when they arrived, so unfortunately I'm pretty sure that my assassins have been going after them.. they are always around on my glass so I see them! Their color is just awesome.

Three died within the week. Please research Nerites before you decide to purchase them

Three died within the week. They are good looking snails if they live. They're about as big as your pinky nail, in some cases just a tad bigger, and you need to have a tank with already established algae and biofilm or they will starve. Also most of the time they cannot get off their back so don't just drop them in and expect them to turn themselves over. Sometimes they will, most of the time they won't. There were wild caught so they probably been in tons of different water and trips so by the time they get to you you have a little chance of keeping them alive. That comes with all nerite snails for the most part because people cannot breed them in captivity which is sad because they ravage where they live to harvest them. The zebras are so common because they are a bit more resilient than these little guys. Best to research nerites before you purchase them. You would be doing yourself and them a favor.

Arrived in a container with a damp paper towel not a bag with water. Shell coloration was darker than expected and with damage to the shell.
