what snail is this? seems like it keeps growing in numbers my tank
is it harmful to plants and fishes?
Looks like you have a bunch of ramshorn snails, specifically the tiny species known as Gyraulus. They're harmless to fish, but they can damage delicate, fine-leaved plants. They usually feed on decaying matter though, and an increase in the population usually indicates that you're overfeeding.
Small is beautiful.
Love them, if you wanna offload them, do let me know

Why you love them? I only feed once a day , does that sounds like over feeding?
Simple to keep, watching them gazing around.

Haha I normally regard them as pest snails; they're so small and reproduce so fast. Becomes quite unsightly when plants and tank sides are peppered with them.
Once a day is okay, but do you feed only what your livestock can consume within a few minutes? If there are leftovers, that may be the source of your problem.
