so what do yall think about those little trumpet snail that infest your tank and cling to the side good or bad talk to me.
 
They are great for tanks. They will keep substrates moving, lowering the risk of noxious gas buildup in the substrate. They clean up the uneaten food. They keep the detritus broken up. They for the most part stay under the substrate during the day, or when the lights are on. They have a really cool shell, and stay quite small.

I have them in all of my tanks, and love them.

I agree. I like trumpet snails. As long as they don't get out of hand. But then again, that's what loaches are for.

Do trumpets destroy water plants?

Not at all. Perfect for planted tanks, which is why they are in every tank I own. 6 of my 7 have plants.

my understanding is that they don't eat any live plants. they do eat dead leaves and dead root parts though.

Mine don't eat dead plant matter. They will graze algae off of it, but seldom do anything to the plants themselves.
