Hi there, just wanted to know where these snails have come from? :o they're very tiny, not even a cm long, and they've just literally appeared out of now where? i do have snails, but they're zebra nerite snails, and are nearly impossile to breed, so i'm pretty sure it isn't a baby of theirs! and...
