Good news: my cherry shrimp finally had some babies! I see lots of cute little tiny shrimp swimming around my tank.

Bad news: I have noticed some small, teeny tiny baby snails, which is weird because I haven't introduced any new plants in several months...

How do I get rid of the baby snails without hurting my shrimp?

My shrimp tank is red cherry shrimp only in a 4 gallon biOrb, so scooping them off the glass would be hard because its round (plus they are so tiny!!!)
 
What I do to get rid of my snails is wait till they get a little bigger than squash them!

Wow Sydney tell us how you really go about things lol
What you could do if you don't want to use chemicals is throw a piece of cucumber in the tank and turn the lights out. The snails will gather on the food to eat it and you can just pick the cucumber out, snails and all. Easy peasy. What you do from there with them is all up to you.
