So, I have decided that my 40b should have a snail. I used to have a nerite in there, and it grew to impressive proportions, living a good number of years in previous tanks I have had, before finally passing. The one thing I did not like about it were the endless blankets of dud eggs it laid .. everywhere.
So, I am looking for a nice large-ish snail that would not leave blankets of crusty dud eggs everywhere to take its place. It is a planted tank, so no munching on live plants. A preference for diatoms is ideal.
Any suggestions? I initially liked the look of the apple snail, but read on planetinverts that they will eat live plants, so that is a no go.
