You need to start posting information. I don't have a magic crystal ball that allows me to see what ails your tank like Oddball does. There are many many snails, and some are bad some are not. You will have to post what they look like, or a picture of them.
oh, just wondering in general about snails. i guess some are good some are bad. ill get some pics up.
so i tried taking pictures of the snail, it was pretty much impossible. they wher way to small for the camera. the best i can describe it is that one was black and one look like a light brown.
Ramshorns have spiral shells. Pond snails are sort of round or research Physas. You'll want to avoid the latter. They reproduce rather quickly and needed to be controlled by reducing food rations, manual pick-up or bait them with lettuce weighed down by a rock to prevent from floating.

Very true. You should only purchase the loach if you want it, but more importantly, you should only buy the loach if the snails are harmful. Many snails will help a planted tank.
