i personally like the zebra nerites
I am intending to setup a tank with ornamental snails. What do you guys think would be the nicest looking snail that is purchasable in singapore???

Red ramhorn also not bad. Its pretty small and will not eat live plant. The only sad-back, the breed in freshwater tank. Mine started to breed.
sulawesi snails

Yes. Can order from Colourful aquarium.
God will make a way, where there seems to be no way

Thanks Wilson. Nice to have something different, but the setup would have to be high pH type then. Oh well... don't think I want to go into the affordability factor (read: $$) of these snails either, hahaha.
since these snails play a role in breeding the sulawesi shrimps ( according to Geogre ), so it should be worth to buy 1 or 2 in your sula shrimp tank
Huh? Is there such snail? How do they look like? I'm really interested!

Hmm... Guess that algae eating snails are kind of limited in singapore... cant find much variety =(

You all should really check out the Crusta10 website for really wonderful pictures of many many crabs, shrimps, crayfish and snails.

There's similar lookalike Sulawesi snails at C328 , about 5cm. You guys can check it out and see if it's from Sulawesi. ( Near the feeders are placed )

Horned bumblebee nerite snail is not bad and commonly available in singapore.
I had nerite snail poking holes into my java fern some months ago, they cling tightly to the leaves and alas.. holes, maybe my tank no algae so the nerite snail had no choice. They dont help much with hair algae though.
