They will be fine in the tank unless you have fish that specifically eat snails, like loaches or puffer fish. If you want to help with shell growth (if you think they need the help) you can add pieces of cuttlebone, like people give to their birds.

Remember that if you overfeed the tank, those snails will become a pest and completely overtake the tank.

And I mean this in the gentlest way possible, but you might want to look at the care requirements for corydoras catfish. They don't tend to do well as singles and they very much love sand substrate. I understand if it is not possible right now, but it is something to look at for the future.

The snails won't cause you any issue as long as you don't overfeed your tank. If you do the dudes will take over!
Can I ask what's the size of your aquarium? Depending on the size, you should probably either add some cories or get rid of the one you have, they get lonely.

Scrape the eggs off and throw them on the lawn.
