Not all snails are bad. The Malayan Trumpet Snails are excellent helpers in a planted tank. I have hundreds of the little guys. I never see them until the lights go out. Then they get to work cleaning the tank. Once a year I use a net and sift the sand to put a few hundred into the turtle tanks. Turtles love snails

If you are having a snail problem, buy 1 assassin snail. It'll eat them all.
