Does Nerite Snail eat plants? What is their diet?
Nerite snails are a type of freshwater snail that is popular in aquariums. They are known for their beautiful shells and their ability to eat algae. While nerite snails do eat algae, they are not strictly herbivores.
In the wild, nerite snails will eat just about anything they can find, including other snails, fish, and dead animals. Nerite snails should be given a varied diet in an aquarium that includes both plant and animal matter. This can be accomplished by feeding them algae wafers, blanched vegetables, and frozen or live foods.
Breeding of Nerite Snail
Nerite snails can be bred in captivity, but it is not an easy task. The first step is to find a male and female nerite snail. The next step is to provide the nerite snails with a suitable breeding environment. The nerite snails will need an aquarium with plenty of hiding places and a good supply of food.
The nerite snails will also need to be near each other to breed. Once the nerite snails have been placed in the same aquarium, they will eventually mate. The female nerite snail will then lay her eggs on a hard surface, such as a rock or piece of driftwood. The nerite snail eggs will hatch in about two weeks, and the baby nerite snails will be able to fend for themselves.
