Ramshorn snails are popular aquarium snails. They grow fast and they grow large too. The ramshorn snail pictured above is from one of my planted shrimp tanks. They are great additions to planted aquariums. These aquarium snails eat mostly decaying plants and don't seem to eat the healthy plants. If you want more just leave dead plant pieces and extra food in your aquariums. If you keep your aquariums cleaner they reproduce very slowly and are easy to maintain.

Apple snail taking algae wafer from orange sakura shrimp. There is also a little peppered corydora fry in the back. I like to put the corydora eggs on the sides of the shrimp tanks. The shrimp will graze on the eggs keeping them clean. After the little corydoras leave the eggs the shrimp eat what remains of the catfish eggs of the glass.

Japanese trapdoor snails in aquariums and container ponds. The larger darker ones are the adults and the smaller more colorful are the younger aquarium snails.

Apple snails are great aquarium snails to have in your shrimp tanks. They eat the excess food and they eat algae. Unfortunately apple snails will also eat some of your aquarium plants.
