Mystery snail tankmates?

my 2 mystery snails multiplied liek crazy I have like 60+ snails now and they are getting bigger, I distributed tehm over 3 tanks, some might not really be suited for them but I dunno what to do with them lol!

Help!

I have Guppies, ghost shrimps and snails and they are fine with them.

Maybe my Newts and Toads will eat some of them?

The parents were both yellow but I have several albino babies!
 
Ok people. mystery snails are like egg laying fish. and this is what they look like. never had any 1 try to eat them... but they are about 2"...

BTW they like warm water, but the 3 gallon eclipse + light gets almost too warm, but if I shut it off it will kill my plants :( Snails seem to like it though, even if the temp is over 80 deg...

My Largest boy mystery snail is over 2 inches in length (not shell) and when HE puts up his snorkle it's something like 5 inches long! Insaine!
 
It looks like the snails that are listed as mystery snails at the LPS.

The true mystery of the "mystery snail" is usually what species it is... I often see many different types listed as mystery snails. The snail most commonly referred to as a "mystery snail" is the pomacea bridgesii...I have also seen Columbian ramshorns (duh) and Pomacea Cananiculata mislabled. As mentioned before, you need both a male and a female to have eggs...Eggs are very obvious and laid in a large clutch (1-2" long) above the water line...Babies do not just "appear"...
 
Some snails lay eggs under water too.
