O-Ring Nerite Snail (Neritodryas javanica)

The O-Ring Nerite Snail (Neritodryas javanica) is a unique, smaller species of snail named for its patterned rings extending around their shells. Like most Nerites, they are found in a wide range of brackish to pure freshwater habitats in Indonesia and the Indo-Pacific. They are extremely popular in the aquarium hobby due to their voracious appetite for nuisance algae, including diatoms and filamentous algae. Plant safe and great addition to any freshwater aquarium, paludarium, or aquascaped/planted tank, these snails can not reproduce successfully without brackish water and therefore will not overpopulate the aquarium.
