Ahh I see Snails

[abyatt]

I have just begun to see a few little snails in my 8 Gallon Tank... It is pretty small and fully stcked so I can't go and buy and fish to eat them up...What should i do?

If they bother you try removing them by hand.

How many snails are there? Just a few? A dozen? Hundreds?

I have seen about 5 or 6 quie small ones... They dont really bother me, but I have heard they can overun a tank pretty quick?

They can overrun a tank, but only if you're overfeeding really. I'd just pull out all of the ones you can see or crush them against the glass (some fish adore the treat). That should slow their spread, though you're unlikely to ever be completely rid of them.

What kind of snails are they?

I think you're fine for now. Having some snails in your tank will not do any harm and might actually be quite useful.

If you do wanna get rid of them, have a look at this post:

Thanks for the advice, I think I will leave the little critters alone for now as they arent doing an harm...

I am definitely not getting more fish as I am pretty much at the limit as it stands...
