i have a gold mystery snail and i had to put it in the betta tank cuz all it does is eat plants. just wondering cuz i would like to put some in my tank
 
Mystery snails don't eat plants. Cana snails do. I have 6 big ones and about 50 babies in my 55 and they have never touched my plants. You can see my plants in the background. They are perfect.

I love my Bridgesiis. They are so fun.
 
MTS wont eat your plants. and if you have sand you wont have to worry about seeing them during the day as they hide in the sand. as well as they give live birth so theres no need to worry about the snail eggs getting eatin since there is none.
 
Here we go...

Pomacea canaliculata
Pomacea haustrum
Pomacea insularum
Asolene spixi (in some cases)
Marisa cornuarietis

The above are notorious for consuming plants hence banned for interstate shipping and in most countries globally due to their potential threats to the native flora.
