Zebra Nerite Snail
Remarks: Nerite Snails are excellent algae grazers and they do not reproduce in freshwater due to their larvae requiring brackish conditions, meaning you won't be overrun with tiny snails seemingly crawling out of the substrate. They will deposit eggs on many surfaces, however, and these can be scraped off or left to naturally decay. They seem to appreciate brown algae (diatoms) most. Any tanks housing these snails should have a tight-fitting lid as they can crawl up the glass and escape. Luckily, these snails can close up their shells when out of water to slow the rate at which they dry out. Some have reported finding snails 24 hours or longer after escape that perk back up when placed back in the water.
 Zebra nerites are one of the most popular nerite snails in the hobby. Their shells are typically tan or brown in color with black stripes that vary in direction, thickness, and number. Unlike most of the other nerite snails in the hobby that typically come from Indonesia and other parts of Asia, zebra nerite snails are native to Africa. This makes them a good candidate for those looking to add a snail to an African biotope.
 B-grade snails have imperfections on their shells such as small chips or scratches but none that are a threat to the snail's health. They most likely will eventually heal and look like any other snail.
