Zebra Snail
Nerita sp.
The Zebra Snail also known as Olive Nerita, is a smaller species of snail that is brownish green to black in coloration. These snails are beneficial in smaller ponds, as well as the passive freshwater aquarium, in order to control algae growth.
The Nerita sp. originate from the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean and can be found in the lower parts of rivers. These snails are very peaceful animals and should not be housed with any other animals that would like to eat them.
Members of the Ampullariidae family are either male or female. The sex of a snail can be determined if they are the same age and have been kept in the same environment and are fed the same foods in which case females will be larger than males. In order to reproduce, these snails require brackish water as they have a marine larval stage.
A scavenger, the Zebra Nerita Snail will consume debris, uneaten food, and algae in the pond or aquarium.
