There's a baby snail in my tank?!

I have 2 zebra snails in my tank and now I see a very little snail. Is it a zebra snail too? I'm just concerned where it came from? I have netrite eggs all over my tank but I thought they don't hatch?

Looks like a pond snail. New plant or other additions they can sneak in.

I haven't added anything recently. And is it harmful?

When did you last add anything? People have vastly differing opinions on snails.

A month ago or so. I dont remember. It was a plant

Sounds about right. You must have had some newly laid eggs on there. Few weeks to hatch and then a few weeks of snail growth and you finally spotted him. I bet he has siblings too.

Oh man. I wish I could find him. I don't want them taking over my tank. How can I dispose of them?
