What snails to breed

[TJ _isme]

I want to breed some small snails but I’m. Not sure what kind, i am planning on breeding them in a planted guppy tank because there is some decaying plants and I want some snails to eat it and help break down wast but I don’t want snails that will harm my plants

Here are some Ideas.

The website says that rabbit snails can eat soft plants if they are not fed enough, but requires a male and female to reproduce. However, Bladder Snails can reproduce rapidly by themselves. The website doesn't say anything about Bladder Snails eating dead plants, though, so I recommend you do some research. Another warning, they are sometimes found with live plants and are referred to as "Pest Snails". Nerite Snails can only lay eggs in Saltwater, so don't go with those if you want a large snail population, even if they are good algae eaters and easy to raise. It's up to you to find the perfect balance.

This article also says that guppies will eat snail eggs, so if you decide to get bladder snails, your guppies should keep the population in control.
