1 whats are they? pesky snails that breed like rabbits

2 are they dangerous - hard to get rid of think plague proportions if left unchecked.

3 where could they come from? any new plants added lately?

they are ramshorn snails they breed like rabits your best bet is a squad of 3-5 of the smallest clown or yoyo loaches you can find then move on the loaches once they hit the 10cm+ mark
