Im contemplating what snail to get but have had bad experience with them breeding in my fw tanks what ones are your favourite snails ? Reasons ? Do they likely breed in captivity ?
Are you asking which ones are our personal favorites? Or is the question which ones we think are more useful?
Personally, I like the nassarius snail the most. They remind me of a horde of zombies rising from their graves every time food I put in the tank
I would think that Cerith snails are more useful, especially in smaller tanks since they aren't bulldozers like turbos and can get in nooks and crannies as well as eating a broad range of food.
My favorite snail is the Nassarius, but I don't see them eating any fish poop. They only go after meaty foods. You may have to feed them if you don't feed a lot or have a lot of fish with "tiger oscar" type appetites (I'm thinking of my vlamingi tang), which don't let anything hit the bottom.
What is it you want to achieve with a snail?
