To me they are pests. They can/will eat plants. They can have some benefits such as eating leftover food, some algae, dead fish. Mixed bag really. They, IMO, are in the middle ground between MTS and Pond Snails.

How would you recommend to get rid of them?

You could use the cucumber method. Which requires a b,arched cucumber in the water, this attracts the snails. Then you simple remove them and repeat. You could get Loaches that eat snails. You could get Assassin Snails. Or you could crush them with your fingers until their population goes into manageable size. Your call.

Thanks so much
