Im looking for a snail suitable for betta tanks (5 gal and under, not all are filtered). I just want something that will scavenge and be undemanding. Algae wafers are bit expensive in this area and when school starts i wont have time to cut veggies and clean them up.

Im thinking ramshorn, as they dig in gravel. But i hear theyre prolific. Are they so prolific that i would be overrun with them? Or are they just prolific enough that i can buy one and be able to stock other tanks?

I'll do graffiti,

overly prolific. is the tank warm?

If so, a small apple snail will do, but be sure you have a larger tank to move it to
