Lol. Mystery snails can grow to the size of golf balls. They reproduce by laying egg sacs above the surface of the water so removal of the eggs is easy. ( I have experience cuz I have giant apple snails which r a larger version of the mystery snails ). The snails might try to escape the tank to lay eggs or becuz the water condition is not in good shape.

I keep my koi fry in a 10 gallon with no other fish and a gravel bottom.

I keep pond snails in my shrimp tank and They help a lot as they r great algae/waste cleaners. Whenever they get out of hand, I feed them to my koi.

Pond snails reach a size of around a 1/4 inch whereas mystery snails can get the size of a ping pong ball. They rarely reproduce unless the right conditions are met. The pond snail breed underwater and like crazy. They are fine in non live planted tanks but wreak havoc in a planted tank. They eat everything. Ramshorn snails are great to have. Their shell looks like a rams horn. They eat algae and waste only but leave healthy plant material alone. I use them as my clean up crew
