They only breed too much if the conditions are right, IME. My 9 gallon tank never has enough; I think the Paradise Fish might be eating them. I'm getting mild plant damage in my Betta tank, though. Since I have to pull out about half the Salvinia natans every week, this isn't a problem.

Too many snails can be a problem, especially since they poop heavily and eat some types of plants (usually only the decaying parts of the plants though, as far as I've read). If they get out of hand, all you need to do is drop a piece of lettuce in the tank, wait until the snails converge on it, then pull it out.
