It's kinda weird because sometimes you can see him lookin' around at you

I want to know what you like or don't like about the various burrowing snails you have experience with

I recently got a ramshorn snail hitchhiker in my ~3y/o 75gallon shrimp/CPD tank. Although I was initially disappointed that I let a "pest" in, they ended up being a huge boon and rejuvenated my tank so now I love them. So, I'm wondering some digger, like MTS, might inject some life into my planted substrate-- some black diamond sand which has become rather compact over time in some places.

But, I'm hesitant about inserting something into my aquarium which will likely become a permanent feature. I want to make sure I do my homework, make selections I'll be glad about later, and avoid making any decisions I'll regret.

Do you have any digging snails you love or hate? Any recommendations with regards to species, or vendors? Any warnings or words of advice? I'm open to input

One particular concern I have is that I want to get a species which isn't too "strong" -- I have a rock wall which something particularly muscular, like a nerite, would certainly knock over given enough time

Casual tank shot for visibility, excuse the algae
