Goldfish are omnivors and will eat very young snails that have not yet developed their hard shell. If you have pond snails in your cold water tank, you have a very hard problem to fix. The only reliable way to remove them is to strip the tank down and replace or boil all the rocks, and gravel. Then after a good rinse leave the gravel in the sun for a week or so to completely dry out. All your plants would have to be replaced because snail eggs are almost invisible and you would never be able to find them all. A hint. Never buy or collect plants from anyone if you even suspect there are water snails present.

Can you put a goldfish with a snail?
You can do this, however, please note that it is not recommended. Goldfish are coldwater fish which makes finding a suitable snail for a coldwater tank very difficult since the majority of snails sold at pet/fish stores are tropical. It is also likely that if you were to put a snail in with a goldfish the goldfish would probably harass it (i.e. trying to eat it, bumping into it, knocking it down).
