What snail is good for a small tank. I have a 2.5 gallon that needs some snails. I was thinking bumble bee, but I don't know much about snails. Thanks

For smaller snails I like the cerith snails. There are two types I had my my tank (dwarf and florida), but I'd stick with the florida. You can pick them up for cheap at reefcleaners

NOT be bumblebees. Good onya for doing some research. Check out colinista and stomatella too. Mix and match.

+1 except I do recommend both. Those little guys can get everywhere and do work. The bigger ones are also hard workers. If I was to only have one type of snail in my tank it would be ceriths.

Ceriths are good. I don't know if it's my wrasses but the ones with turbin type shells do not last as long as turbos or conchs or bumble bees. They must taste good.
