which snail to get?

[paytertot]

Ok so I just got a new tank which is almost finished cycling, and I'd like to get snails. I really like zebra nerites and had my mind made up about them because they don't breed in fw. But then I was reading and realized they don't dig into the sand bed which I was kinda looking for. The problem is all the sand sifting snails seem to breed pretty crazy. I don't want a bunch of snails. So what should I do? I want the nerites. So should I just forget the sand sifting bit and just do it myself once in a while? Or is there a kind of snail that I missed?

Just get a Malaysian trumpet or two and don't over feed

I suppose I can try it. I just really don't want a bunch of snails in there.

Well if you got just a few mts and dont overfeed you probably wont see them much, and then you can get a tiger nerite for looks

Never heard of tiger nerites. I was going to get like 4 zebras.
