There are two types of snails. Water snails and garden snails. They are both easy to get.
WATER SNAILS: These you have to buy from your local petstore, the section where they sell fish. All petstores usually sell water snails, and there are quite a few. I bought myself two Golden Mystery Snails.
GARDEN SNAILS: I didn't buy THESE cute creatures. When it rains, just go out to your back or front yard and you will see tons of cute, little crawling brownish garden snails. They eat vegetables, keep that in mind.
If you're getting a new snail, good luck! I take care of both. =)
What happens if the snails prey eats the snail?
Snails love carrots.

The best way to do it is to clip a couple of carrot strips to the edge of your aquarium, and remove them as soon as they get all full of snails.
