I was thinking about getting another fish. Can fish and snails live together in peace?

Yeah so long as there isn't 100s of the things as they can over-run the tank and mess up the water quality for the fishy. The odd one won't cause any harm.

:o I want my fish to give birth to a snail!
Nar, gold fish and snails are fine together.
The snail eats algae, it will die if theres no algae. You should get some fish.
