Not applicable with Auction Items
The Tricolor Horned Nerite Snail (Clithon corona/diadema) is a small, popular freshwater aquarium snail known for its vibrant yellow, black, and orange/brown banded shell and distinctive, thorn-like horns. They are peaceful, prolific algae-eaters that grow to only 0.5–1 inch, making them ideal for nano and planted tanks. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Key Care and Characteristics:
- Algae Eater: Excellent for cleaning glass, plants, and decorations without harming live plants.
- Tank Size & Compatibility: Suitable for tanks 10+ gallons, peaceful toward tankmates.
- Reproduction: They require brackish water to breed, meaning they will not overpopulate freshwater aquariums.
- Diet: Primarily algae, but they need supplemental food like sinking algae wafers or blanched vegetables if the tank is too clean.
- Lifespan & Care: Generally easy to care for, but have a typical lifespan of 1–2 years. They prefer stable water with a pH of 7.0–8.0. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
