Hello all,
i was given a Fluval Chi 5.5 gallon and decided to do a planted tank. i'm running the stock pump with a fluval 13W light, i put in fluval chi shrimp stratum and planted some dwarf hairgrass. i've been cycling the tank (no live animals) with nutrafin cycle for 3 weeks now. after adding nutrafin plantgro a week ago i was finally noticing some growth but then today i spotted a snail! very small but i have no idea where it came from (only advice housemate could give was, "life always finds a way 0_0")

note it is very very tiny and thats the best pic i could take.
is this a sign of bad things to come? should i remove the snail? i'm not sure what's going on! my original plan was to have the dwarf hairgrass grow into a nice lawn, and then add fish and shrimp.
any advice about the snail is appreciated
