Nerite snails. I even keep them with my puffers.
What is the SG? I converted a FW tank to 1.005 and when I did I removed all the ramshorns I could beforehand. The babies that were left behind have grown and continue to breed. They actually look better than the ones I have in FW. If you don't overfeed, ramshorns won't overpopulate and they are the best cleaners.

As JRC3 says it depends on the SG, some freshwater Nerites do well up to SG1.005 and others will do well at higher SG's,such as Olive Nerites
