Pest snails are typically viewed as unwelcome, but I can imagine other snails being beneficial for one reason or another. However, most of the environments we tend to create are very soft and usually very acidic, which aren't the best for snails in general for obvious reasons.
I keep some grungy tanks since the biofilm is beneficial to my fry, but I still have a ton of algae. I'd like to toss a few nerite snails in each of the tanks, but I don't want to create a situation where the snails fade and foul my tank. Do any of you keep any snails such as MTS, nerite, apple/mystery, or assassin snails in your apisto tanks? How many for tank size and parameters? How do they do in your tanks?
