lol, you didnt pest DIP the plants before hand HUH... A lot of algaeside will kill the snails, just read on the bottle and see if it says WILL HARM snail or shrimp. If it does then pour it into the tank. Pond snails do not reproduce as quickly as MTS do, and I have never had more than a few ever appear in my tanks.
You can add assassin snails to your tank and they will eat the other snails and take a while to reproduce.
We're probably only talking, what ? 3 or 4? No need for an assassin unless you buy 1 and then give him to someone else (ME) when he is done.
I had a infestation of snails in my 110g tank , I bought 6 assassin snails at a LFS and was clear within a few days!
I rinse my plants under the sink shake them well will knock off snails. Might not rinse off eggs as easy but if you see them you can rub them off under the running water.
