is there a snail that wont breed and wont eatt my plants???
 
both MTS (Melanoides tuberculata) and Ramshorns (Planorbis corneus)will breed, but they will not eat healthy plants
 
Pomacea bridgesii will not breed without 2 snails and will not eat healthy plants. Thats about all there is that are readily available. Nerites are nice if you can get em.
 
I have a low light planted tank. I am not an expert, but I swear I did a lot more tank maintenance before I ended up with my Ramshorns snails. They seem to keep it clean and they have not overpopulated the tank by any means.
