Unlike most snails, the Nerite Snail do not fair very well in poor water quality. They also would benefit from a relatively moderately strong water current similar to their natural habitat. |

The Nerite Snail (Neritina natalensis) belongs to the family named Neritidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 1.0 inches in length, the Nerite Snail is passive in nature and hardy in stamina. Based on the particular specimen you acquire and its environment, the time when it is most active can fluctuate day or night. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Neritina natalensis should not be housed in a tank less than 10 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 72 - 78 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.025. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include high water quality and a moderate water current.
