Could you remcomend a non-common type that is a non-plant eater and
also is not a-sexual?
I'd still like to have one as long as it leaves the plants alone and
doesn't multiply.

Thanks tho!

That has not been my experience. I've got a variety of snails in my tanks, and
they don't eat my plants.

There are some snails that eat plants, and should be avoided. Most species of
apple/mystery snails -- except Pomacea bridgesii, the spike-topped apple snail
-- can't be trusted with plants. Columbian ramshorns (the ones that grow to be
1" across) are also plant-eaters. But the others commonly found in aquariums
prefer algae and leftover fishfood.
