Need more description.
 Color etc? Pick them up or crush them if you do not want an infestation. Otherwise leave it alone to pick on tiny algae on tank wall.

 I guess it is the above? It is mini ramshorn snail, Gyraulus convexiusculus It is harmless , will not chew on plants. |

2 ways, if you have shrimps go for assasins snails. I have some for sale. If no shrimps, go for dwarf puffer fish. |

yes bro you are right! small cute harmless but multiply damn fast! spend a couple of weeks removing manually and then donate all to the corridor fish tank downstairs at neighbours..... recently really reduce a lot , perhaps my discus are eating them. |
