Snails.

Approximately 7 of them (that I can see so far), they are barely more than a millimeter across apart from one which is about 6mm and seems to be racing around the glass in my tank like he is on speed. I'm assuming they have hitch hiked in on one of my plants. I have nothing against them, they are kind of cute, but my worry is that they are going to multipy and leave me up to my ears in snails. I am planning to get a bristlenose plec tomorrow, will he munch them up on his way through my copious algae? They don't seem to have shells or anything yet apart from the big one, so may be squishy enough to be chewed on?

I dont think my tank is big enough for any of the snail eaters that I have seen mentioned previously (15 uk galls).

Thanks all
Aylana
 
Float a lettuce leaf in the tank, then remove them.
