Pest snails - what do you think?

Do you like snails?

Honestly I hated them at first. Then I saw how good they clean and I really dont mind them now. They are kinda cute too. However I do not like the mini RH snails. They clog stuff up because they are so small and can get inside the sponge filters and stuff.

I would say if you get pest snails on purpose get RH or MTS. The MTS go through the substrate and get rid of air pockets and keep roots aerated. RH come in some pretty cool colors too.

Love snails but just the one I got intentionally, set my new record of 63 squashed ramshorns in the tank clean last night

I don't do plants so I don't have snails or anything in that category of fishkeeping known as "hitchhikers". I don't hate them or like them, I don't know them. Lol

Coming out of a salt background, I have been considering adding some mts (purposely) to sift the sand. I wouldn't keep a saltwater tank without sand sifters, I sometimes wonder why I don't use them in my freshwater set up!

Find them useful numbers stay consistent unless tanks being overfed so can become an issue in growout tanks I just take extra and as feeders. Not sure y they get such a bad reputation.

Do it. They work do the work in salt, fresh, brackish. I’d honestly not be surprised if they didn’t even need water lol
