Nerite snails are masters of algae clean-up and are an asset to most freshwater aquariums. They cannot reproduce in freshwater, but may lay small sesame-seed like eggs around the aquarium (sometimes on other snails). They need calcium-rich water for their shells, so be sure to buffer if you're from a soft-water region, and offer calcium-rich foods.
