Can anyone identify this snail?

And yes, that is a common rams horn snail. I have heavily planted tanks and lots of these guys. They are greta fun to keep and won't hurt anything. Biodiversity in a tank is good.

Reduce feeding for the fish, clean the substarte occasionally, remove decaying leaves and algae and the snail population will stay low.

If you have soft water with a low kh the snails will never grow very big anyway as their shells won't develop.

Pond snails are flat spirals.

A better loach choice would be yoyo's. A small group would fit well in a 75 gallon and they get no more than 4 inches in size or so. Zebra loaches would be a nice choice as well.

You've got it mixed up TKOS, that snail is a pond snail. Ramshorns are the ones with the flat spiral.

Oops yes of course

another small yet very active loach is the skunk botia, slightly aggressive with other botia but very momentous. i call mine mr. bow tie cuz of his coloring. (cream with a black stripe that bands the tail).
