I'm not adding loaches - I'd rather get rid of the snails. I keep a separate tank with brigg snails and I really don't want these other ones in any tank. Whatever I can trap will be given away or discarded if no one wants them.
Help ID these snails

I put the trap in, we'll see how many are in there in the morning but this is how many I just picked off the driftwood. There are some red and some brown speckled ones. All have got to go.
this morning there were no snails in with the zucchini. I'm going to put in some Ken's pellets and see if I get any this time - my briggs love those pellets. Duh me, I should have thought of that last night! I'll look under the driftwood again.
good morning, today there were no snails in with my trap, however, there were 3 fish trapped in there leaving no room for snails to get in......stupid fish. Fish are okay so I took out the slate, driftwood, potted plants - pretty much everything in the tank and came out with these snails. I'm convinced that there are more perhaps buried or just blended in where I couldn't see them. Is there another method to getting rid of these without having to dismantle the tank every couple of days. I have fry in that tank as well and I wouldn't want to put unwanted chemicals in there to harm them. There are about 30 of the reds (top right of pic) and approx. 60 of the brown speckled - I lost count. Anyway, as pretty as the reds are - they have all got to go.
Because they are different sizes, is it because there was more than 1 egg clutch that came in on the plants?
