My ten gallon has snails, little tiny tiny ones all of a sudden. I havent added anything to the tank since we moved about three months ago other than tap water ha ha. The tank is near a patio door which we open and we are below ground level so its a little damp. Just noticed them in t here today. Are they a danger/problem? I'm sure my large male lyre tail molly will eat most of them..........what might be the cause and what if anything should i do about it?? Michelle

What I've been reading says that they CAN be beneficial by cleaning up the algae and used food and stirring up the gravel...

But they do multiply very fast. And the only way I know to get rid of them is to take everythinng out your tank can clean "everything" with hot hot water and make sure you get all the snail eggs out..they will be in little bubble like things...They can be a pain..I had them in my tank once... =)
