Customers are happy with the algae in their aquarium. They say the clithons do a great job cleaning up the algae. Some say the animals are the best for algae control in freshwater aquariums. They are small enough to clean live plant leaves that would buckle under the weight.

Beautiful and very cool snails as pictured and they were all alive upon delivery. I even received 6 instead of 5. I put them in my live plant tank which I let get full of algae in advance for them to eat. It's been a week and they are all still alive. Will keep them isolated a few more weeks before putting them in with my fish.

5.0 out of 5 stars best snail for algae control
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2014
Verified Purchase
I received six Clithons, and all are still healthy and happy after several weeks. As pictured, they are gold/black striped, with significant spikes. The six Clithons that I received did not have any broken spikes, which is unusual in my experience. I've purchased Clithons elsewhere, and there have always been broken spikes, which do not grow back.

I also purchased Nerite snails from this company, and they are still healthy and happy.

I've found Nerites and Clithons to be the best animals for algae control in my freshwater aquariums. The Nerites are about marble size, and they tend to live for about two years. They're bigger than the Clithons, so they eat more algae. They're great for cleaning the tank walls of algae. However, the pea-size Clithons have other advantages. For one thing, they're small enough to clean live plant leaves that would buckle under the weight of a Nerite. They also live for a long time. I have had some that lived to be six years old. I recommend getting both species.

I received 6 Nerite snails a day earlier than expected. The shipping was great and the snails were packaged well in two plastic bags with water. The only bummer is that only 3 of the 6 snails survived. The two that survived are already making an impact on the algae I have in the tank. I gave 4 out of 5 stars because the packing was good and the shipping was fast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arrived alive and healthy
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2023
Verified Purchase
All five arrived alive. One died shortly after being introduced to the tank, which was disappointing but not that unusual. I've since found out this was likely my own fault anyway. The other four have been thriving for the past two months and have all grown at least twice in size.

In the hopes that others may learn from my mistake: I used a set of tweezers to very gently pick up the snails by their shells and transfer them to my aquarium, since I assumed that trying to scoop them up was more likely to injure them. To my great consternation, I apparently got it the wrong way around. Gently scooping them up from the bottom will encourage them to let go and retract into their shells. Picking them up by the shell might cause them to latch on tighter, and the force exerted to make them let go can tear their mantle, which kills them. I was probably quite lucky that only one died.

Got five, cute, size of a small pea fully grown. I have one left, due to moving from tank to tank and not having same water conditions I'm sure. I have him in with three really large snails and he tends to ride on their backs. Eats algea is my best guess because he won't touch wafers or zucchini yet and it's been months. He stays mostly on the glass or the snails.

4.0 out of 5 stars I really love these snails.

They demolish all algae very quickly which is great! I received six in case one died on the trip and all were alive when I got them into my tank. One did eventually die a few months after and 8 months since I purchased i only have two left. I'm not displeased with my purchase though. I don't believe my tank killed them but I give the seller the benefit of the doubt that the snails were for the most part very healthy when I received them. I would recommend.
