Just got our first mystery snail yesterday at the lfs to add to the aquarium they're pretty cool to watch do their thing much faster and exciting than I thought they would be so it's super exciting1485140329991.jpg
 
As far as I know the one I got is mostly mature so not much bigger unless you get an apple snail hence the name but know nothing of the bio load
 
Most of mine are about ping pong ball size. With a few smaller and a few bigger.

They eat the algae when they are young and then left over fish food when they grow up. Anacharis is like candy to them and will be reduced to stems in no time. I do not know the bioload.
 
Low bioload but kinda big for your cube imo. Nerites be better for 5g cube
 
awesome thanks guys. bit confised ad to what bottom dwellers I can get. i had otos which were perfect bit unfortunately they died this.mornjng :( so do not want to get more because I'm not experienced enough to keep them alive.
