What's a good cleaner snail? The kind that can replace plecos and ottos?

Thanks in advance!

Zebra nerites do a great job on algae.

Here's mine 15 minutes after I put it on an algae covered leaf.

Zebra or Olive Nerites do really well, I have found it impossible to find Zebras. Where did you get yours Barbrella?

I'm in Canada, and Big Al's always has tons of Zebra nerites!

Don't know what the shipping is, but you can get Olive nerites at Drs. Foster and Smith.

Japanese trapdoor snails will also do a good job.

Great, thanks! One question: Can snails eat algae on walls? Thanks in advance!
