Snails with Crystal Red shrimps?

I am setting up a new tank to house some Crystal Red Caridina shrimps and am wondering about snails to control algae. The shrimps need soft water at a lowish pH, are there any snails who would do ok in the same conditions? I have nerites and ramshorns in with my Neos but they have much harder water

That's good to know, thanks. Do the ramshorns breed any slower in your water?

Hi all,

I think they probably do. I used to have a lot more (and bigger) when I was feeding vegetables to the shrimps etc and the water was a bit harder. I seem to have a lot of Tadpole Snails, but I don't know if that is because they have slightly different food sources to the Ramshorns.

Thank God for that! I had one tank get completely overrun by them at one point, I want to avoid that if at all possible.
