Ramshorn Snail Invasion!?

[lolapetrovik]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask some questions about Ramshorn Snails in my tank.
So, a few months ago, I purchased 3 Leopard Blue Ramshorn snails for my planted 10 gallon tank. I now have about 20 of them.
I bought Ramshorn snails because I had heard good things about them not leaving their tank. This was important to me because my tank has a piece of driftwood that sticks out, so I can't put a lid on it, and I also really enjoy the look of no lid on my tank. So far, none of them has made an attempt to leave, which I'm quite happy about.
My problem is that they reproduce very quickly, which I knew when I was buying them, but I have no way of controlling their population.
The 10 gallon that they are currently in is my only tank as of now, with no other inhabitants. I am planning on getting shrimp, and maybe some fish for it, but I don't know what to do to control their population.
I have heard of getting Assasin snails to eat my Ramshorns, but I'm worried about them escaping my tank.
Is there any other alternative, or a fish that I can put in a 10 gallon that will control their population?
Thank you in advance.

Aquatic snails do not normally leave the water unless there is something toxic in it. Even then, most won't come out and simply die in the water. Mystery snails come out of the water to lay eggs but go straight back in after breeding.

The easiest way to control the snails is to physically remove them by hand or with a net.

I agree with @Colin_T , I have ramshorn snails in my 30 gallon tank and when there looks like too many I just pick them out. Get a large tweezers to pick them up if you do not want to touch them. Good luck.
