Planning verdict
compatibleThis pair is a reasonable starting point when both species receive their required tank size, group size, water conditions, and routine care.
No automatic safety blocker was found.
Red Eye Tetra and Zebra Nerite Snail receive a recommended verdict from the current structured assessment. Red Eye Tetra is recorded as peaceful with an aggression level of 2/10; Zebra Nerite Snail is recorded as peaceful with an aggression level of 1/10. The recommendation is based on the combined water, space, behavior, grouping, and predation checks below rather than on species names alone.
Red Eye Tetra has a recorded temperature range of 72–82°F and pH range of 6–8. Zebra Nerite Snail is recorded at 72–79°F and pH 7–8.5. Their shared planning window is 72–79°F for temperature and 7–8 for pH. A shared aquarium must stay inside the overlap rather than merely touching each species’ outer tolerance.
Red Eye Tetra sets the larger listed base aquarium requirement at 20 gallons; the other listed minimum is 5 gallons. Red Eye Tetra is the larger adult by the recorded maximum, reaching 2.8 inches, compared with 1 inches. These figures are starting constraints, not a stocking-capacity calculation, because the complete group sizes and bioload still matter.
Red Eye Tetra is a active species associated with the mid zone and moderate flow. Zebra Nerite Snail is moderate, uses the bottom zone, and has a moderate flow preference. Red Eye Tetra should be planned as a group of at least 6, while zebra nerite snail does not have a recorded minimum school larger than one. The aquarium must support both social structures without forcing either species into insufficient space.
Red Eye Tetra is recorded as a omnivore with easy care, while Zebra Nerite Snail is a herbivore with easy care. Their listed preferred tank styles are planted and planted. Feeding access, cover, open swimming room, filtration, and observation should be planned around the more demanding requirement rather than averaged between the two species.
