New lovely breed of snails?

[kspenz926]

I have an infestation of snails in my planted tank. However i have noticed a new kind. They seem to have a translucent/yellow shell? Any idea what these are? Or any ideas on natural ways to get rid, rather than using tweezers and flushing 10+ daily down the toilet? Lol

To add, the yellow ones are much harder to remove from leaves than the other typical "pond snails". Pic attached

Loaches or any snail eating fish, assassin snail, etc.

Don't flush them though, that can cause environmental issues.

Put in a lettuce leaf, turn off lights. Come back later and pick up and dispose of the snails.

It's hard to tell from the pictures. If you can pull some out and take a better picture it'd be easier. To me though they just look like bladder snails.
