I love assassin snails! Not only will they kill all unwanted snails, but they will scavenge the substrate for leftover food, and are just plain cool to watch.
I did the assassin snails, an he's right they are fun, and good cleaners. Now I have no pest snails left in the tank, so I feed them algae wafers. Here's a pic of a few on the hunt!
Ten gallons is far too small for most snail eating fishes, but just fine for a couple assassins. The assassin snails won't hurt plants either. While opportunistic scavengers that will eat detritus, they are primarily carnivores that prefer smaller snails over almost any other food.
Do you know what kind they are, bladder snails, rams horns, Malaysian Trumpet Snails (MTS), many snails don't eat the plants unless they are decaying. Holes in leaves can also be nutrient or lighting deficiency.
