I heard that too from Sandusky and they are small snail. Mine don't eat snail yet because they are mystery apple snail. Too big to swallow. They just clean the tank for me.

we use ramshorn snails and use them in our breeding and growout tanks with success

Mine only snack on snail eggs and very young snails... not adults. I've got ramshorn and trumpet snails in my tanks

Hehe, yup some eat pest snails. I have small ramshorns but so far neither Akihiro nor Chris have taken nips at them.
