Ramshorn snails would be my first choice or maybe apple snails depending whats available...
Ramshorns are super easy. Just a small tank with a small sponge filter, feed on blanched cucumber, sinking pellets and the likes. Once they get going they really go 
Yup 
.
I went to lfs and got 100 ramshorns I feed blanched kale and pleco bites. I have them in 2 17g totes 1 heated 1 not the heated one breed faster. The other is room temp 70ish still breeding just seems at 76+ the eggs hatch faster. I have a sponge filter in one and a power filter in the other. I need another sponge filter and get rid of the power filter. The power filter sucks up the uneaten food that the baby snails need. I also put a cuttle bone in both breeder tanks, some say it will leach calcium or the snails will graze on it and they do.
