What is a good aquarium snail for me?

I want a small variety of snail that doesn't grow bigger than an inch.


It needs to eat algae on glass and plants.


Its population needs to be easily controlled.


It is not allowed to make much waste as the tank is only a 4 gallon Cherry Shrimp Tank.


Thank you :)


NOTE: Don't say Apple or Mystery snail.


NOTE 2: Nerite snails sounded perfect but I can't find them anywhere in Australia.|||Well if you can't find nerites there's really no other snail you oculd use. Try not leaving the light on for so long if your'e having algae issues.



You woulsn't want apple or mystery snails anyway. 1. Mystery snails ARE apple snails. 2. They have HUGE bioloads and in a 4 gallon tank that's not good. 3. They grow FAR to large for a 4 gallon tank.



I suggest looking on Ebay and seeing if they will ship to you.|||If you can't find Nerites then why not just settle for an Apple or Mystery? They're both nifty little snails.|||none if not apple snails or m s then none|||I don't think you have any more options..sorry.
