Fancy Antler Snail - (Clithon sowerianum)

This rare nerite species is among the most colorful and variable, and it is a peaceful, active, and useful addition to almost any aquarium!   Clithon sp. “Fancy” are a group of rare nerite snails that are very small in size and not often encountered in the aquarium hobby.  Their shape, colors, patterns vary significantly.  Available ones are usually very small in size ranging from 0.5cm to 1cm and are perfect for covered nano tanks. Most of the nerite snails we offer have very similar care requirements and characteristics, and the Fancy Antler Snail is no exception. It inhabits fresh and brackish water areas and cannot reproduce in freshwater. This snail is a very effective algae eater and will thrive in a mature aquarium that has plenty of algae and biofilm growth. Some nerite snails are initially finicky about eating dry foods, but most will come to accept them, especially with foods that are high in spirulina or other plant content. Fresh vegetables are typically accepted as well.
