Omet, I don't like your plan to be honest. Instead of doing all this which is, in my opinion, very stressful to the fish, how about doing plenty of water changes and regulating your food rations? You should realize by now abundance of food supply is the main cause of population explosion. Snails aren't exactly problematic and are nothing to be alarmed for.

do what many have said. put some lettuce in a jar, lay jar on the bottom of the tank.... in the morning take snails out. use some forms of veggies in the jar :) have you ried this yet? can you just pick them out ( the ones big enough) and feed to your fish??

well, my mom want to get rid of them all , or i cant keep fish anymore
and my tank is cover in plants, so i think the jar thing wont work, and i do alot of water changes. 75% everyday, i feed my fish 3 time a day, and each time i feed them just a wee bit, not even enought to make them fat,the food never touch the flour, or even make it to the middle of the tank,

Why would she want you to? Simply manually pick them up and try to regulate feeding. Explain to her that snails aren't really that bad and their population can be regulated. Either way, you are doing too much trouble over snails for nothing. Your fish will simply end up in worse state from being moving.

You cannot completely eliminate all snails. Yes, there will be snail eggs but as Mg had put it, throw out your biggest snails there is. Pull out as many as you can find. The use of chemicals to kill all snails is more disastrous than just picking them all up and controlling food supply.
