📝 Additional Notes:

Zebra Nerite Snails are prized for their ability to clean algae from glass, plants, and décor without damaging live plants. They do not reproduce in freshwater, making them ideal for those concerned about snail overpopulation.
Avoid water with high copper content, as it is toxic to snails. They may crawl above the waterline, so ensure your tank is covered.
