Two of my three tanks are infested with a very small almost brownish
looking

for a

calvus white,
leleupis, and juies. I am worried that these snails may somehow eat

the fish's
eggs. I love to watch these fish breed so any help would be

appreciated.

The snails will not cause any problems with the cichlids spawning. If
you are worried about that you can pick up a few clown loaches and
they will eat the snails for you.

The loach idea is tried and true, I like to move my clown loaches between
tanks. I have a half dozen 1-4" clown loaches and they do well moving from
tank to tank periodically. By the way you get the snails from plants, in my
experience.
