Snails for the planted tank.

The most popular algae crew snail in the hobby. Bold zebra-striped shell and a relentless work ethic on glass and rocks. Will lay sterile white eggs everywhere in fresh water, accept it or move on.

Display snail in golden, ivory, blue, black, and magenta varieties. Personable, active, and large enough to count as a feature animal. Confirm Pomacea bridgesii (plant-safe) and not the apple snail (which destroys plants).

Either the easiest pet snail in the hobby or the pest you can't get rid of. Available in red, brown, blue, pink, and leopard variants when bred intentionally. Population scales with available food, keep feeding modest.

The clean-up crew that lives in the substrate. Aerates the gravel, eats detritus, and stays invisible during the day. Breeds via cloning so a single snail can start a colony, also why some aquarists call them a pest.

The pest-snail solution in a 2cm package. Distinctive yellow-and-brown striped conical shell. Buy 3–4 for a small outbreak; they will hunt the population down to nothing then live on protein supplements.

Slow-moving display snail with a long conical shell, prominent antennae, and a face that looks more rabbit than mollusc. Yellow, orange, white, black, and chocolate variants. Strict on warm hard alkaline water.

The detail-oriented nerite. Small black-and-yellow shells with distinctive horn spines. Especially good for nano tanks where a 2.5cm zebra nerite is too large to navigate the hardscape gaps.
