More than just tank cleaners

This page covers freshwater aquarium snails commonly used in aquascaping, from algae eaters to more decorative species. You’ll find snails that help with cleanup and others kept mainly for their unique look.

Each guide explains shell size, behaviour, plant safety, and breeding habits. You’ll also learn which snails stay under control and which ones multiply quickly, so you can choose the right fit for your tank.

These guides are for aquarists who want to add snails without unwanted surprises. Whether you want a clean-up helper or a feature snail, this section helps you pick wisely.
