It contains 91 mg of silica, 18 mg of calcium, 14 mg of magnesium, 7.8 mg of pH, 152 mg of bicarbonates, and 220 mg of total dissolved solids. P.S, I am going to use this water to some fresh water triops and snails and sea monkeys. Please help

Nerite snail OR mystery snail?
I want one of these snails but I am undecisive of which one to get.
If you could, please list the benefits and downsides of these snails (or at least one of them) and tell me what one you would prefer? (note: Im putting the snail in a tank with Triops, and ive heard these are the two best snails to house with them, so please do not suggest other species of snail)
also i would REALLY appreciate it if you did NOT give me answers like ” Iike this snail cus its pretty” or “this one cus its colorful”. I want actual beneficial reasons as to why I should get the snail over the other one.
Thankyou!
Dear Rebecca: Youre a damn fool for trying to out-smart me. Nerites only need brackish water to breed. Im well aware that they are smaller than mysteries. Im also well aware that mysteries snails applies to many species, but last time I checked, theres only ONE species sold in pet stores. nice try though. Mystery snails (ALL of the species) only go above water level to lay eggs, or search for food in desperation.
Next time, do your research. And think twice before posting absurd answers, because people like me will make you look very, VERY stupid- especially when Im in a bad mood.
PS: I gaurentee I know more about you considering Im majoring in biological sciences, have taken several biology classes, and interned at public aquariums. Despite the fact I do not own snails, I know a considerable amount of information about them.
The only reason I am asking this question is because I want feedback of people who DO own these snails and see what their perspectives are.
Have a nice night
