Snails?

[phalough]

I would like to purchase some snails for my discus tank. I would like to know what kind of water they like. The one thats at my local store is a nice looking gold snail for very cheap and yet still active and seems to cruz the tank nicely. They should help with any algae on the glass correct? I keep my tank at 6.5ph and 86 degrees. I think my water is slightly soft.

I've tried to keep gold apple snails with discus but the snails died after about a month in the warm water. When they die they putrefy very quickly, so you need to remove any dead ones right away. I keep little Malaysian trumpet snails with discus, and the snails do very well. I think they need some gravel to burrow in, since they only come out at night. I have a thin layer of gravel in the tank. I think these snails are livebearing, and they have multiplied a lot in my tank.

I have apple snails in my discus tank, 84 degrees and they breed, babies hatch and grow, so they must be happy in my tank.

Are those the same as the gold inca snails? Because thats what they say they are at my local fish store.
