Fascinating to watch
O-Ring Nerite Snails are peaceful Nerite-type algae grazers recognized by their circular ring-like shell markings.
They do best in mature aquariums with established algae, stable minerals, and a secure lid.
Care Notes
Use a mature aquarium with established algae and biofilm. Supplement food when natural grazing is limited.
Maintain stable mineral content for shell health and avoid copper-based medications.
