Tricolor Zebra Thorn Nerite Snail:
Tricolor Zebra Thorn Snails are eye-catching freshwater snails known for their bold black and yellow zebra striping combined with small horn-like spikes on their shells. Their unique “thorned” appearance and striking tricolor pattern make them a standout addition to aquariums. Like other nerite snails, they are excellent algae grazers that constantly clean surfaces such as glass, rocks, and decor. They are completely safe for live plants and work well in peaceful community tanks.
