[TheNamelessPoet]

There are 2 snails 1 a hair smaller than the one in the picture. The one in the pic is maybe 1/4" in size

ramshorn. define evil snail and good snail?

[TheNamelessPoet]

is it going to duplicate like wildfire

[mgamer20o0]

no snail will dupilcate like wildfire unless there is plenty of food. no food = no breeding. good way to chech if you happen to be over feeding or not.

order of being a pest.
1 mts
2 pond
3 ramshorn

no snail is "evil" if you have too many stop over feeding. Whats to hate about airated substrate and less algae?

[mgamer20o0]

ramshorns wont aerate the substrate

I was talking snails in general, i understand that ramshorn wont burrow in the substrate. All are different but bring something decent to the table.

Generally speaking snails are not so bad. You really will have a hard time avoiding them in a planted tank. They help keep things tidy, tend to eat decaying matter only. I have had plenty of ramshorns without incident. It is really up to you but they do add to the overall natural environment IMO.
