Yes they are pond or bladder snails.

Ok thank you if i dint have lettuce to use as a trap what can i use ive read lettuce is easy or assassin snail but dont have either lol
 
They will be attracted to anything kinda gooey like a piece of zucchini that's been in the tank for a day or so, etc. Your fish may eat it though (not that that's a bad thing). You could aways just leave them be. If there is not excess food in the tank you shouldn't experience a population explosion.
 
Ok thank you only reason why im somewhat worried of population issue is cause my filter is starting to die and im waiting for my new one in the mail its taking forever to get here lol
