💧 Ideal Water Parameters:
To keep your Horned Nerite Snail healthy and active, maintain these optimal water conditions:

🐟 Compatibility & Tank Mates:
Horned Nerite Snails are peaceful and non-aggressive, making them ideal for community tanks. Suitable tank mates include:
-
Tetras, Guppies, Rasboras
-
Bettas (as long as the betta is not aggressive)

Shrimp (Amano, Cherry, etc.)

Corydoras, Otocinclus, Plecos

Avoid keeping them with aggressive or snail-eating fish such as:
-
Loaches
-
Puffers
-
Crayfish
-
Large Cichlids
🍽️ Feeding & Diet:
Horned Nerite Snails are natural algae eaters and will graze constantly on:
-
Green spot algae
-
Soft film algae
-
Diatoms on glass, plants, and décor
Supplement their diet if algae is limited:
-
Blanched vegetables (zucchini, spinach, cucumber)
-
Algae wafers
-
Spirulina-based pellets
Avoid overfeeding to maintain clean water quality.
🧼 Care & Maintenance:
-
Very low maintenance — simply provide a clean, stable environment.
-
They don’t reproduce in freshwater, so no worry about overpopulation.
-
Ensure no copper in the tank (toxic to invertebrates).
-
Use a tight-fitting lid — Nerites are known to explore and may crawl out of open tanks.
