    I bought 5 snails last night from Pro-Pet...think they are called "lebra snails"...looks quite like "escargots" to me.

    Can I put these snails in my planted tanks without them harming my plants or risking a snail epidemic if they should reproduce out of control? Do they only feed on algae?

    Err...no charge actually - coz I bought 100 bee shrimps from them

    They have patterned brown and black stripes - can anyone please re-assure me that I can put them into my planted tank without risking a snail infestation that can wipe out my plants?
