Ramshorn are my most favorite; yes they eat plants and yes they reproduce quite fast.

I could harvest ard..20-50 pcs in ard 3 months time.(2" diameter)

One of the "funnest" part with these snails is every pattern is different and the care and water quality dictate how well the shell/pattern looks.
