Hi,
I bought a few plants for my 10 gallon tank, which had some snails come with them. In the beginning I only had a few crawling around, but now it seems like they are reproducing pretty efficiently, so I now have like thirty (at least). I don't want to kill them or anything (they are cute ) my question: Is this okay to have that many snails in the tank or are they going to be harmful long term (will they change my water chem)? Well, I'm going to have to let some of them go I was thinking of releasing them into a nearby pond. How long do they live?
Here are some pics of two kinds of my snails. These are grown ups but there are a lot of tiny ones also.
