Snails vs. plecos

[Mitch7]

Hello,

I have a 55 gallon tank with lots of plants.
I have 2 plecos - they are not very big, but they do a good job of keeping the tank glass clean. I also have 3 corys.
I also "accidentally" have some small, I think, tiger snails - they came with some plants that I bought.
I was wondering about a couple of things - should I get rid of the snails I have right now, or should I try to get a bigger kind of snails (not sure what their name is - big and white colored)?
What would anyone recommend?

The small snails won't really cause a problem if they're ramshorn, pond or Malaysian trumpet snails. If they bother you, it would be a good idea to try to get them out now.

If you like snails, you could get some larger ones. Apple snails will sometimes eat plants, though.

Thanks for your advice. My major concern is will the big snails compete for food with my plecos?

No, they won't. Plecos move a lot faster
