I'm keeping caridina shrimp for the first time and wondering what snails if any can go in the soft water with them?

IME ramshorns and bladder snails seem to do okay in softer tanks. Their thinner shells seem to hold up a bit better than something with a thick shell like a nerite or mystery snail. Still, expect to see some shell deterioration in large/medium specimens.

Probably worth it to feed foods with lots of calcium and minerals in it (think snello). The water will still actively work against their shells, but if you can supplement enough calcium you should be able to minimize damage.
 

Random Great Topic!
