What snails should i get

[Mattant1984]

After some advise on snails.

I want some snails for my 700 litre tank but I have a few points I'd like to consider before hand.
# I don't want anything that will lay eggs everywhere (like nerites)
# I don't want them to eat live plants
# I don't want them to breed excessively

However I do want them to be part of my clean up crew and eat leftover food, old plant material etc etc

Many thanks

Hi all,

I don't want them to eat live plants

I like Tadpole (Physella acuta), Ramshorn (Planorbella duryi) and Trumpet (Melanoides tuberculata) snails. They are all <"low maintenance tank janitors">.

I just got some pink Ramshorn and they're great to sit and watch. They're very active. I believe they breed like rabbits though so depends if you mind them multiplying.

Ramshorn are excellent.

Much, much faster than rabbits
