A naturally variable species from freshwater and brackish streams on Pacific islands, the yellow form is one of the brightest and most decorative of the horned nerites. At under an inch, it is a favorite in nano tanks and aquascapes where larger snails would look out of scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"warn-box\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e⚠ Copper Warning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Like all invertebrates, this snail is extremely sensitive to copper. Never use copper-based medications, algaecides, or plant fertilizers containing copper in its tank, and check that tap-water conditioners and plumbing are copper-free.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHorned nerites are tireless grazers on soft algae, diatoms, and biofilm, cleaning glass, rock, and the surfaces of slow-growing plants like Anubias and Bucephalandra without damaging the leaves. They are completely peaceful and safe with fish, shrimp, and plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNerites lay small, hard, white eggs on hardscape and glass. These eggs will not hatch in freshwater — the larvae need brackish or saltwater — so the snails will never overpopulate your tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft, acidic water and high CO2 can weaken the shell over time. Keep pH at 7.0 or above with moderate hardness, avoid overdosing CO2, and add calcium if your water is soft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tip-box\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding \u0026amp; Care Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e In most planted tanks they find plenty of algae and biofilm.
