I want to get snails that do a great job what should I go with

Ps. Dont want big snails
 
Mystery snails or Malaysian trumpet snails make a good clean up crew they'll eat anything BUT keep a close eye on them, or you'll have a population explosion.

zebra nerite snails are a good clean up crew- they are well known escape artists tho - you'll need a hooded tank! they also don't get too big, don't multiply into millions, as breeding them is nearly impossible! they also eat alot of types of algae, and are very pretty! :D

My mystery snails are horrible at clean up, they ramble around and get what they want, but I hear nerite snails are much better. I also have ghost shrimp in one tank that doesn't have large fish and they do a great job and they're fun to watch :D.

I always heard that Nerite snails are good cleaners. They said that they don't reproduce in fresh water, but I don't know if is true....
