They are killing my plants, and taking my plecos food.
And some of them have outgrown guppy eating size.><
What can I do to get ride of them?
I have one that is in the hatchery and it's cool there, but the others are killer.

Easiest way to get rid of them is to put some food in and pull the food out when the snails sit on it, then dispose of them...

If the snails are small enough you can put the food in a plastic saltshaker with large holes. Then drop it in the fishtank and all of the snails go into the shaker and it can be removed from the tank. I had to do this in my gold fish tank once for an outburst of snails that i got from some anacharis. I tried the food thing but the goldies would eat it before the snails ever got there. After i did that there were still a small few snails in my tank, but as soon as I would see one, I would take it out and SQUISH IT in a papertowel!
...Also you should make sure that the snails are dead before you dispose of them...to make sure that they don't become someone else's problem!
