would you rather have a shrimp or snail tank?

If I couldn't keep multiple tanks and had to choose a single sp. and my choices were snails or shrimp. I would choose Crystal Reds because they are the hardest to keep and breed and that would feed my compulsive/obsessive behavior, therefore providing more gratification when successful.:thm:

I only have had cherry shrimp as far as an invert only tank, so it wouldn't be fair to say I would rather keep shrimmp because I haven't kept snails yet. But FTM has a point, if I had the cash, I would definetely go for the Crystal Red Shrimp.
I'm such a newbie in the hobby. I started my tank with red cherry shrimp and nerite snails (from Msjinkz) together so I currently have both.
The snails are great but the shrimp are so much more active.
I would like to keep some larger types of snails in the future.
With the limited experience that I have currently, I think I would pick shrimp. My kids really enjoy watching the shrimp and finding the berried females and the tiny babies.

i would keep shrimp, snails just arnt safe with me when i notice them they get thrown into my puffer tanks, and anyone thinking there going to make the night in one of those needs to look up there puffers. my shrimp tank ( which is up and coming ) has cherrys, crystal, bamboo, singapore woods, vampire, rodalph, black forest, and amano. if i could just get my scapeing looking right this would be probably my favorite thing i own.
I like both and if I couldn't keep them together I would keep them separate but if for whatever reason I couldn't do that either I would keep a snail tank.
