unidentified snail

[remy the cook]

can anyone help identify this baby snail please, I want to know what it is before putting it back into my tank. I have a tiger nerite and a zebra nerite snail but can never find the zebra in the tank

It looks like a typical pond snail.

Take it out and get rid of it! If not you'll end up with hundreds.

In my 150gal I've got pond snails that hitch hiked in on plants. I pull them out as soon as I see them, but after 6 months I'm still pulling out 5-10 every single day. Sometimes many more. In my opinion, I would not put that thing back in your tank unless you want hundreds.

I have only a couple pond snails left due to three very adapt Yo-yo loaches who consider pond snails the best treat food around. Yet they leave my nerites and MTS's alone. One thing people forget is if you have a canister filter they are very good at getting in them and laying eggs which continues the cycle.
