Wow, I'm not sure...I don't know a lot about snails, but mine did not look like the ones you've got here?! Hopefully someone with more knowledge can chime in for you

It's up to you. If you don't over feed then you shouldn't have a problem with over population. Some of your fish will eat the eggs and new born snails to keep the population down as well.
