Batik Nerite Snail: Artistic Algae Cleaner for Your Aquarium

Add the striking beauty of a Batik Nerite Snail to your freshwater setup. These peaceful, efficient algae eaters bring both visual appeal and natural cleaning power to your tank.

Overview

The Batik Nerite Snail (*Neritina variegata*) showcases stunning, intricate patterns on its shell, reminiscent of traditional batik fabric. Varying in hues from black and gold to earthy browns with delicate lines and spots, each snail is a living work of art. These active grazers are constantly on the move, diligently scouring glass, plants, and decor for algae and biofilm, contributing significantly to a cleaner, healthier aquarium environment.

Care Level

Easy to care for, Batik Nerite Snails are ideal tankmates for community fish and dwarf shrimp. Their peaceful nature ensures compatibility, and they won’t overpopulate your freshwater aquarium, as breeding requires brackish conditions.

Tank Essentials

Minimum 10 litres for one snail. Maintain stable water: pH 6.5-8.5 (neutral to alkaline is best for shell health) and temperature 22-28°C. A tight-fitting lid is crucial, as these snails are known explorers.

Diet

Primarily algae, biofilm, and decaying plant matter. Supplement with high-quality algae wafers or blanched vegetables. They will not consume live plants.
