No u should leave them be they good for two things, one is that help keep your alge down and keep your glass clear and the sec thing is that it help keep your nitrate low so they keep your tank more balance. The only bad thing of have snail is they eat your plants but it OK the plants you can all ways trim them plants grow back and if you have lots of plants you can even tell that the snail eat them . So if you ask me keep the snail they will help

Definitely keep your snails, as mr discus angel said, they are really good for keeping your tank in balance. If the population gets out of control or they start eating your plants just put a piece of lettuce at the bottom of your tank. The next day there will be a lot of them chillin on there and you can just take them out.

"If your snail get out control just get clown loch it will eat the snail"

Clowns loaches need massive tanks and need to be in groups...

Lettuce is a good idea! If you add 1 or 2 assasins snails they will also control the population.
