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.

Is it a good sign to have bred snails in a tropical fish tank?

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

For an aquarium snail what do they look like?

Aquarium snails are different from regular land snails. All aquatic snails have gills. Just like their land relatives, these snails also have radula(rasping tongue),tentacles, and hard shells. Aquatic snails do not have as developed eyes as land snails. Many aquatic snails have a door or an opcerium at the entrance of their shell. Some aquatic snails also grow to the size of a baseball.
