depending on the kind of snails you have you will be able to find their eggs. APple snails and mystery snails will lay their eggs in big clusters just above the waterline. If you don't want to have more snails you can just remove the clusters of eggs.
All other snails breed like crazy. You will be able to see their eggs on the glass or on ornaments or plants in your aquarium. They are more difficult to control. The eggs will appear to be a clear sort of film.
It is only a good sign if you wanted to breed snails. Snails are pests that can destroy the ecosystem in your aquarium, regardless of the type of aquarium. If you are breeding snails (for whatever reason), use an aquarium devoted to your snail breeding. As others have said about snail infestations, when they die they decay, producing ammonia and other poisons. With fish, this can lead to lowered immune function, disease, and eventually death. If you don't want the snails, you can remove them with medicines sold at your local pet store. ~Wigglerthefish Fish Help Forum
Some snails have very interestingly designed shells and can add color and uniqueness to an aquarium. Also, snails are an algae consumer and help clean the aquarium. Some fish also require snails as part of their diet, such as some puffers.
Some common types of aquarium snails include Nerite snails, Mystery snails, Ramshorn snails, and Malaysian Trumpet snails. Each type has unique characteristics and care requirements.

Yes, aquarium snails can live in a pond environment as long as the water conditions are suitable for their survival.
No, aquarium snails cannot survive outside of water as they require a moist environment to breathe and move.
No, aquarium snails cannot survive out of water for an extended period of time as they require a moist environment to breathe and move.
Some popular types of snails to add to a freshwater aquarium are Nerite snails, Mystery snails, and Malaysian Trumpet snails. These snails can help keep the tank clean by eating algae and leftover food, and they are generally peaceful and easy to care for.
The number of aquarium snails you should add depends on your tank size and purpose. As a general guide, add 1 snail per 20–30 litres of water. For algae control, start with a small number and increase only if needed. Over-stocking snails can lead to excess waste and rapid breeding. Species also matter — Nerite snails do not reproduce in freshwater, while others may multiply quickly. Always ensure your aquarium is fully cycled and suitable for snails before adding them, and avoid adding too many at once to keep water quality stable. For More Visit: Cu Aquatics
