Neritina natalensis - Zebra running snail

Neritina natalensis, or as we call it in Dutch, the Zebra running snail is a species of snail from South Africa. It owes its Dutch name to its color and the fact that it moves quickly for a snail. In the aquarium it grows to about 3cm.

Neritina natalensis has a dark base color with yellow stripes. He is very popular as a cleaner. Without pausing, all surfaces are expertly cleared of algae and micro-organism growth. He leaves healthy plants alone. The Zebra running snail is easy to keep with other snails, fish and shrimps.

Care of Neritina natalensis

Correct water quality is very important for good care. Slugs are quite sensitive to heavy metals. If the water is not good for them, they will crawl over the edge of the aquarium. A glass cover is a useful tool, but first and foremost it means good water quality. It is important that the water is not too acidic and too soft. This can hinder the development of a sturdy house. Additional feeding can be done with all types of "algae tablets", "spirulina food" or "snail sticks" for the aquarium.

Extra attention

These snails are caught in the wild. Diseases and other undesirable things can come along with this. It is advisable to keep the snails in quarantine first. Let them get used to the new aquarium water with the drip method. Place them with the opening facing down, as turning them over is very difficult, if not impossible, for them. They come in immature size.
