Berried Cherry shrimp

A nice video of a berried Cherry Shrimp up close

This female Red Cherry Shrimp is in one of our newly planted 10 gal aquarium tanks. The current residents are:

10 Cherry Shrimp

20 Juvenile Cherry Shrimp

4 Otocinclus algae eating catfish

The tank has been running for 5 years already but  change of setups was decided. It originally contained around 30 Java fern plants!!! Now it's been running for around 3 weeks with the current setup. More photos soon and as we go along.

Nerite snails

 We just recently got our hands on some Nerite snails (Neritina punctulata). Nerite snails are great algae eaters. They really are voracious eaters and will gladly clean your tank and make it free from alga. Come in different species with the most common available in aquaria being Neritina natalensis. 

Nerite snails are found in the Caribbean. The adults are truly freshwater and will not survive saltwater aquariums. 
Nerite snails come in all shapes and sizes. As previously mentioned Neritina natalensis is the most common nerite species available. They are smaller in size than Neritina punctulata but are still voracious eaters. They eat film algae, green and brown algae as well as comercial algal food. There are different color patterns to choose from and there are even some with horns! Depending on their color patterns, being horned or not and their colors is they're pricing.




Nerite snails as mentioned are truly freshwater snails. The only part of their lifestyle that involves saltwater and brackish water is their early stages in life. Nerites will put eggs in your tank but don't worry, you won't have a huge snail population. This is because recently hatched nerites are larvae, not miniature adults as other snails. In the wild these larvae will go downstream to the ocean where they will feed on microorganisms such as phytoplankton. Once formed the juveniles will start to migrate back up the river again and become mature adults in a freshwater environment, repeating the process.

Nerites are great algae eaters and make good members in an algae eating crew. These can be algae eating fish such as Otocinclus catfish, a few shrimp such as Red Rilli shrimp or Cherry Shrimp and then a few nerites to top it off.

We offer around 4 different versiones of Nerites (Neritina punctulata). We have Zebra, Tiger, Olive and Black Nerite snails. For more pictures, information or pricing contact us and we'll get to you as soon as posible.
