Anyone have success with Betta and snails in the same tank? Looking to avoid anything that breeds like crazy (no MTS or pond snails) also anything that gets too big (no apple or mystery snails) as I have 5 gallon tanks for my bettas.

Was curious to know if any success with Nerite or Rabbit Snails and bettas - two of my bettas would be okay as they are quite passive - the third is quite aggressive and not sure if he would be okay with a snail.

I still plan on cleaning my tanks and doing the same water changes - just thought it might be interesting for me and betta but don't want to see the snails get eaten!
 
The snails would probably be ok but the bettas might peck at them when you first add them. And the nerites will lay a bunch of eggs (don't worry they won't hatch) everywhere or so I've read.
