This species is among the rarest snail species in the aquarium world, so it is very seldom available. The Red Racer and Gold Racer Nerite Snails have a highly variable shell appearance, but its many possible patterns are all among the most attractive of any ornamental freshwater or marine snail. Their shell patterns are extremely variable so not all patterns are photographed as it would be nearly impossible to do so. They can live for upwards of 4 years, so they are relatively long-lived among their relatives. They require brackish or marine water for the fry to survive, so they will not proliferate in a freshwater aquarium and they are not known to have been bred commercially.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese snails create an extremely attractive color combination while providing diligent scavenging and algae eating services!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed Racer Nerite Snail (\u003cem\u003eVittina waigiensis\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold Racer Nerite Snail\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eVittina waigiensis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the nerite snails we offer have very similar care requirements and characteristics. They inhabit fresh and brackish water areas and cannot reproduce in freshwater. These snails are very effective algae eaters 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. Nerite snails are hardy in a mature, stable, well-maintained aquarium, but they are not as hardy as some other snail species in subpar setups. It is important to remember that scavengers such as snails do not consume as much oxygen as most fish, but they still contribute to the bioload of the aquarium and they should not be overstocked long-term.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt should also be noted that, while these snails can live in a wide variety of pH levels, they will live for much longer in alkaline water of over 7.0 pH. If they are kept in acidic water, they are more prone to experience shell erosion. Calcium supplementation (especially when using R\/O water) is highly recommended for maintaining magnificent shell quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat We Like About This Snail:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompletely peaceful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany variable, attractive colors and patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafe with all plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent scavenger and algae eater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes not reproduce in freshwater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRECOMMENDED TANK PARAMETERS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature: 71.6° - 87.8° F (22° - 28° C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epH: 6.5 – 8.0, although its lifespan will generally be longer in alkaline pH.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKH: 2 - 12 dKH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Tank Size: 3 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCARE INFORMATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiet: Scavenger that feeds continually.  Requires very little feeding in a well-established aquarium containing algae, biofilm, or decaying plant matter.  In less mature aquariums, high quality dry foods with high plant content can be sparingly fed daily.
