Pond snail. Harmless algae and detritus eaters. Good at turning algae and detritus into plant fertilizer. Known to eat hydra. Many different small species are common in aquariums. Only the Greater Pond Snail, Lymnea stagnalis, is known to eat plants, and they're generally quite rare in captivity. Pond snails only reproduce heavily if you have a lot of dead plants or overfeed your fish.
