you can get this stuff called "had a snail" if you want to kill them all. or you can take a couple snails out and put them in another tank while your waiting for the stuff to kill most of the snails in the tank. The problem with snails is you can always expect them to multiply so you'll have the same problem even if you keep a few. there is one other option that I don't think any one will take to is you can pick out each and every snail out that you don't want by hand.

If you use the snail killer stuff, it contains copper which is deadly to other aquarium organisms. It's better to bait them with a hunk of lettuce. After a couple of nights in the aquarium, just throw them and the lettuce in the garden. That's a way to control snail populations without killing plants and fish. Without poising everything, snails are forever; population control is up to you.

I read yesterday that you can use a blanched green bean to catch snails. Apparently they love them and you will find them all over it in the morning right before the lights come on.
