They’re usually seen as pests instead of an actual addition to your aquarium, which is a shame as there are tons of beautiful species available.

Not all of them reproduce quickly, and most can actually help you out with algae control. Looking through the Aquariadise archives, I seem to be guilty as well. Not a single snail post! Time for snail representation – here’s a list of some beautiful and easy to keep snail species.where to buy aquarium bulkheads If you came here looking for a way to deal with pest snails like Malaysian trumpet snails, bladder snails or pond snails, have a look at this article.fish tank for sale in portsmouth Freshwater Nerites (pictured above) are among the most popular aquarium snails because of their exceptional algae eating abilities. fish tank for sale in norwich

Although they won’t do all the work for you, they definitely help. Supplement their diet with algae wafers, though, especially when algae are running low. To create an effective algae cleanup crew, get at least around 5 of these snails – they don’t reproduce in the aquarium, so don’t worry about them becoming pests. new fish tank foggy waterBe sure to close all holes in the lid, because some Nerites are true escape artists that will try to get out of the aquarium when water conditions are not ideal.buy turtle tank online You can buy Nerite snails online here!fish tank glass type I was always under the impression that anything from Sulawesi would be just as difficult to care for as Sulawesi shrimp – I was wrong.

When kept at temperatures around 81-86 °F/27-30 °C with peaceful tankmates, Sulawesi snails are actually easy to keep, interesting to watch and beautiful. They are omnivorous, so feed plant-based foods like algae tablets and fresh veggies as well as foods meant for omnivores/carnivores. Tylomelania snails will breed in the aquarium without much difficulty, but most sources report one juvenile at a time. This means they won’t become pests like pond snails or trumpet snails.

They’re sometimes referred to as freshwater limpets, but are actually a type of flat nerite snail that, unlike limpets, doesn’t breed in freshwater. I was lucky enough to stumble upon them myself at Zoo Zajac, a huge German pet store. I wanted to include them in this list because of their algae eating abilities, which are pretty extraordinary. In fact, they eat so much algae that it’s recommended to not clean the back of the tank so they don’t starve.

Although there is not too much info out there on their requirements, they likely appreciate the same water conditions as their ‘normal’ nerite cousins. If you’re considering getting a puffer fish or clown loach to get rid of pest snails like pond snails or trumpet snails – reconsider. Both these species are on the list of the worst beginner fish for a reason. Don’t worry, though, as the assassin snail can help you get rid of pest snails much more easily. And it looks very pretty while doing so! Clea helena is a carnivorous snail that turns cannibalistic when it encounters other snails, and eats them alive if it gets the chance. Many fishkeepers report a drastic decline in the amount of pest snails in their aquarium after introducing a few assassin snails. Although these assassins reproduce in freshwater, they tend not to become pests because the breeding stops once the food supplies run out. And if they do keep reproducing, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to find another aquarist with a snail problem who is willing to take a few.

Please be very careful when keeping assassin snails. If these snails escape into the wild they can do a lot of damage. You can find a full assassin snail caresheet here.

The spike-topped apple snail is one of the only apple snail species that will mostly leave healthy plants alone, which makes it a lot easier to keep than its cousins. Apple snails are very decorative snails that can be bred in the home aquarium and are available in many different colors. They do well in most water conditions, although harder water seems to be preferable as it contains more calcium. These apple snails will eat fresh veggies and leftover fish food; keep them well fed, as they will turn to live plants when there is not enough other food to eat. Because apple snails grow quite large, a bigger aquarium of at least 15-20 gallons (55-75L) is recommended. In smaller aquariums, their bioload may simply be too much for the filter to handle.
