Get them out of the tank if there eating fish.

What are your water parameters? Snails usually eat fish after they die. It is very unlikely they attacked the fish. How large is your tank?

not being rude but snails dont attack and eat fish i dont think.. the fish would have to be dead before the snails started eating them. either use a snail trap or you can buy a snail remover medicine..my nutrafin ive seen?

They arent the small pest snails, he said he bought some snails. Which means they are grown and can easily be removed without trapping/chemicals

Just take them out. I dont know how a fish can't outrun a snail if it were being attacked, but take the snails out anyway.

stick some clown loaches in there. let them take care of those pesky snails. im sure you wont have any more troubles. i bought some combomba weed for my tank not knowing there was snails in it,until i heard my two clowns clicking away at some tasty snail food !!
