What snail is this?

[AngryBird]

I am new to snails. Saw these snails and found that they have "horns" and have strip like yellow and black.

What are they and where to find them?

They seems to be cute. Are they easy to breed? Are they "fierce" to eat up all my plants in my tank or friendly?

Thanks in advace.

horned nerite snails , good for taking off green spot algae off the tank walls ...

plant safe

agree with Bro reavex, its a horned nerite snail.

you can find them at C328 / colourful / east ocean. quite a few LFS sells them.

The apple snails are huge eaters ! i regretted buying them as they eat up most of my pellia and fissidens

Apple snails eat bloodworms... But not sure if they may eat shrimps. They also like to push their way through so they may bully the shrimps. But thanks bro reaverx for the info as my tank current filled with green spots algae and its increasing.. Time to get a few horned nerites.
