Hi, Leo;

I have been using what is known as the Ramshorn Snail in my tanks for the
past 12 years. They grow to a good size and are easy to control if you don't
want them to overtake your tank. I mainly use them in growout tanks and have
also had them in apisto tanks as long as I am careful of live plants. Like,
I said, I have mainly used them for the growout tanks.

FWIW
