Overview
Trochus snails (Rochia nilotica) are one of the best algae eaters you can buy for your aquarium. Unlike most snails in the aquarium industry, they are from warm tropical waters and thrive in captivity. They are voracious herbivores that will graze on rocks and tank walls alike. Maybe the best part about Trochus snails is that they have the ability to right themselves when they flip upside down, making them less likely to fall prey to predators and scavengers.
