One good thing about your type of snails is they are a specie of Physella acuta aka the bladder snail. They are known for their thin, oval shells and rapid reproduction. These snails are a very common type of snail in ponds and they have about the thinnest shell of most the various aquatic snails. This makes them easy for snail eating fish to successfully eat them. Yellow perch will even eat Physella snails. Pick up a couple of them and it is relatively easy to smash or crush them with your fingers. Smaller RES 3"-5" are able to eat the small and medium ones and larger RES consume the larger Physella. Most all of the other commonly occurring snails have a thick shell and not easily crushed.
