## Description

desertcart.com : Swimming Creatures™ 5 Red Racer Nerite Snail, Freshwater Aquarium Snail Live (Approx. Size: 0.8-1.2 cm) : Pet Supplies

Review: Beautiful and efficient algae eaters - All arrived alive and healthy. All of them have unique patterns and vibrant colors on their shells. They are all about 1/4"-1/2" width shells. I gave them a marine salt bath to perk them up when they arrived since they prefer salinity and as a precaution to help eliminate the potential for cross contamination, but nothing unusual came off of them in the salt bath. They all started cruising around within 10 minutes of being put in the water and look to be very healthy. It's been about 5 days and they all are doing well. I got them primarily because they eat algae and don't reproduce in fresh water. They do not disappoint! These hungry little hippos are very efficient algae eaters. I wanted the red nerites specifically because of their beautiful shells. The snails were in a baggy with a damp paper towel around them. That was inside a bubble mailer with a cold pack and then that whole thing was inside of the Fedex envelope. They did arrive 2 days before my expected delivery date, which was nice but I was glad I happened to be home when they arrived. Normally I wouldn't have been, and if that were the case they would have been sitting in the sun on the porch all day and likely would not have been in good shape. (it is August and was about 80 degrees the day they arrived). I would suggest considering the weather in your area when ordering, there's only so much the shipper can do. As others have mentioned the seller did include a 6th snail in my order, which was a nice bonus. The price was very reasonable for these snails I feel like. I could have gotten the black Nerites for a dollar or 2 less each at my local pet store but they aren't nearly as pretty.
Review: Alive, Introduced and Active - Arrived a day early, well packaged, step-by-step instructions on how to introduce them into your aquarium and a phone number to contact with any problems or concerns. Received 7 snails, introduced them as instructed around 3pm and they were all active and thriving by 7 am the next morning. They are tiny but they are doing what I bought them to do!

## Features

- We provide DOA coverage for all live animals. For snails, please wait 48 hours after acclimating them to your tank before contacting us, as they may require time to adjust to the new environment.
- Guidelines for Checking Snails: ⦁ If the snail’s operculum (the soft tissue at the opening) is firm and intact, the snail is likely alive and adjusting. ⦁ If the operculum is damaged, and there is an unpleasant odor, this may indicate the snail is deceased. We recommend giving the snails time to acclimate before assuming they are DOA. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if assistance is needed.
- Care Guide: Water Parameters: Maintain a pH of 7.0-8.5 with a temperature range of 72-78°F. TDS: Keep Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) between 250-350 ppm for optimal health.

### ⭐ Brown snails not Red Racers
*by Y***Z on December 7, 2025*

Snails are OK but I ordered these because the description said Red Racers. You'd think with a name like that you'd expect at least one Red one but all that I received was brown snails. I figured that after they acclimated to the tank, they'd change some but still (brown).
