Hi

I am FED UP with tiny snails in my planted tank. I have the Malaysian Trumpets, which, I have been told by ppl on this forum, are Harmless to plants. I also have these Round ones, that seem to like to stay on their side. These ones are very small around 1-2 mm in diameter.

From what I know, any snails other than the Malaysian trumpet snails, cause damage to plants in the planted aquaria. Is this true?

How do u go about removing (preferrably COMPLETELY) snails in ur tanks?

Thanks

loaches are the only thing I know of that eat snails, but this may not get rid of the cause of the problem.
 
Loaches are one of the best snail eaters out there. Looking at your sig you have shrimps, these could be a nice starter for most loach :/ . I have yoyo and zebra loaches in my 120L and have never seen a snail in there. My 60L , no loach few snails (the ones i catch i drop into the 120L)
You could just add a lettuce leaf and remove it every morning
