Default Snails, yay or nay?

I just wanted to see everyone's thoughts on keeping snails, so I designed a poll.

Personally I've found that they clean my glass so well I don't have to. They are very prolific, so that might be one concern, but in my experience they haven't been detrimental. What are your thoughts?

I have nerites for algae and I love to watch Mystery snails glide from the top of plant to the bottom. I only have males mystery snails. I don't want them breeding all over the place, like my pond snails did.

I would have picked a different option. I don't purely hate them, but I don't really like them so much. I suppose the closest option was "don't care either way".

They get annoying when there are too many of them though.

Very true. If you have something that eats them readily, its free food though.
