the other two pics and one of my own lil pet project my DIY television tank having made use of the actual tv screen not just gut a tv and shove a tank in there I cut the screen and all the other glass for it, it holds 5.5 gallons and is completely self contained as the air pump is hidden inside and i build my own in tank filters. The tv tank isnt up and running yet but it is filled with H20

Does it look like this? It's a pond snail, good algae eaters that are prone to huge population EXPLOSIONS. I like them, most people hate them...

Click on the pix zoom in do what ever you gotta the pix were shot with a 24 megapixel camera you shouldn't have a problem seeing them they are very very tiny snails and if they don't get identified my childrens goldfish will be eating them as I don't believe in chemical medicines and poisons the only chemical I use is de-chlor and that's only when im out of r.o.d.i. water which hardly ever happens oh and the hard to see thing might have something to do with these snails only being between an eighth and a quarter inch long

As best I can tell, it's a pond snail. I'm surprised you don't have issues with the lack of proper mineralization in your RODI water. Goldfish will eat the pond snails fine, crushing them also works, and they won't do well in RODI water anyway because there is not enough calcium in the water to support good shell growth.

The goldfishes got a treat this morning I found five snails and managed to get four out of the tank the goldfishs got them before they even hit the bottom.
