Neritina natalensis is a Neritidae freshwater snail, the Zebra Nerite — among the best algae cleaners in the hobby. In the aquarium it stays a tireless, peaceful grazer. Plan on a 2–2.5 cm shell at 22–26 °C in medium-hard alkaline water; it cannot reproduce in freshwater, so it never overruns the tank.
好养——新手友好型，对常见失误容忍度高。Peaceful — cannot harm anything in the tank，Keep singly or in a small group。
保持 22–26 °C 并避免波动，pH 7–8.5、GH 8–20 dGH 即可。
成体约 2–2.5 cm；最小缸体 20 L，并留出活动空间。
