    Ja, Ramshorn. They are not an issue, they will help keep the tank clean. I just don't like snails in my tank. I prefer to remove as many as I can. You will never get rid of all of them, but I do try.

    They make great food for puffers and loaches.
    Pepper cories also eat the small ones and the eggs!
    Good luck!
