Inch per gallon rule for snails?

[Newtofish2018]

I have a 10 gal. Tank, 2 guppies, one mystery snail. I plan to add one dwarf gourami, and a Mollie. I'd also like to add another snail and possibly a ghost shrimp or two. Do i need to count the snails and shrimp, or am I good?

Mystery snails can poop more than you'd think lol, I'd skip the molly as they really need a bigger tank, the rest should work out fine together (although the shrimp may get eaten or picked at so I'd make sure you have cover).

The 1 inch per gallon rule really doesn't work to well. You wouldn't put a 10 inches Oscar in a 10g tank. AqAdvisor - Intelligent Freshwater Tropical Fish Aquarium Stocking Calculator and Aquarium Tank/Filter Advisor try this sight it's great for stocking options
