Hey everyone,

hope your having a great Sunday. So I found these little creatures in one of my guppy tanks tonight. I can see only 2 of them and both moving and I’m sure they are snails.
Shall I remove them or not?

thanks in advance

Yes, they are snails. They're not harmful but you could end up with a lot of them if you're not careful. If you like them, leave them, but if you get too many or if want to step on it now, remove them. I would squash them against the glass and let the fish eat them.
 
I actually bought a couple from my LFS. But yes keep an eye on them or you’ll be overrun
