Bubble bee snails (for vermited snail control)

[sorinwilcox]

Has anyone had any experience or luck with keeping bubble bee snails in a bare bottom tank?
Dealing with a bunch of vermited snails and I wanted to give them a try as I heard they can eat them.

Any help or experience is welcome. Thank you.

Bumble bee snails seem to help me but is not a cure. It seems they help keep the very small ones at bay, but do nothing for the regular size ones. Between the bumble bee snails and manual removal they seem to be in check but not gone.
Also there are a few different snails that look almost exactly like bumble bee snails. Have to make sure you have true bumble bee snails. Not a look alike

I have had the same 3 bumblebee snails in one of my tanks for over a year and I can say that they do not completely eliminate the snail issue but they keep it in check.
