Batik Snail
Batik Snail is a practical freshwater aquarium snail for algae control, cleanup work, and added variety in planted or community tanks.
The Batik Snail, a stunning variant of the Nerite Snail, is renowned for its intricately patterned shell that resembles the traditional Batik art style. This peaceful and hardy freshwater snail is a fantastic addition to any aquarium, combining beauty with functionality. Known for its algae-eating abilities, the Batik Snail helps keep your tank clean while adding a decorative touch to your setup.
Why this livestock stands out
- Beautiful, intricately patterned shell with unique Batik-like designs
- Small size, growing up to 1 inch, perfect for nano or community aquariums
- Peaceful and non-invasive, safe for plants and other tank inhabitants
- Excellent algae eater, contributing to a clean and healthy aquarium
- Useful for algae and leftover cleanup
Current Stock Note
Most of our freshwater snails are hardy and practical additions for stable aquariums. A group option can be a smart choice when your goal is broader cleanup coverage rather than adding just one specimen.
Basic Care Guide
Snails do best in established aquariums with available biofilm, algae, or leftover foods to graze on. As with most invertebrates, consistency matters more than constantly adjusting the system.
Water Parameters
- Scientific Name: Neritina sp.
- Recommended Temperature: 22-28°C
- Recommended pH: 7.0-8.2
- Care Level: Beginner
Frequently Asked Questions
Which option should I choose?
If you want broader cleanup coverage, a group is usually more effective than a single snail. For display purposes, one can still be a great choice.
Can I add this to a new tank?
We strongly recommend a mature, stable setup rather than a newly started aquarium.
