What kind of snails are these? They came free with my plants and now there are about 50 of them. I had to take some out of my main tank and put them in my 5.5g to keep it looking nice. I dont want to kill them so what can I do? Can I sell them :confused:

Common pond snails. The fact that they reproduced so quickly indicates you have a lot of uneaten food in the tank--or plants that are dropping lots of leaves. Try cleaning the substrate a bit more often, remove dead leaves immediately, and make sure food isn't settling on the bottom. Snails only become a problem when there is lots of food available for them!
