unknown baby snails in my aquarium

[George2]

Hi,

   I have been having trouble with unwelcome baby snails in my 16 gallon freshwater aquarium for the last few months and I'm not sure where they're coming from. I have several Zebra Nerite snails and one Black Nerite snail but their eggs are only supposed to hatch in brackish water. Is it possible they're hatching in freshwater?

I've attached a couple pictures of them.(I wish I had a better camera that could take sharper pictures of them)  Does anyone know what kind of snails they are? They are white with a little black dot in the middle. Everyday I usually find 2-4 of them.

Other than picking them out, is there any way to completely eradicate them from my aquarium?


Thanks,
George

Looks like freshwater limpets!

Looks like freshwater limpets!

That's it! I looked them up on the internet and found this:
"Something that looks a bit similar are Nerite eggs. They are singular, white, hard, round or oval shaped and about 1 - 2 mm in diameter."
This explains why I thought they might be baby nerite snails.

Is there any way I can eradicate them from my aquarium? I have been manually removing the ones I find on my glass for months but they don't seem to disappear. I occasionally find some on my plants but they're very small and hard to find so I am sure there are many more, which I have not noticed.
