I need help identifying hitch hiker

[Jmdix45766]

Today i noticed several little snails in my tank that mustve come on board with the java fern i bought. I put the plant in isolation and hopefully got all the little ones out of the tank. But before i decide to kill them/keep them id like to know what they are. Black body brown shell from what i can tell

It’s hard to tell from the photo, but this looks a lot like a pond snail. I’ve dealt with these a lot in my own aquariums and know from experience that these are a headache today deal with. Good idea to remove the plant from the aquarium. I hope that not too many made their way into your tank so that you don’t end up with a snail infestation like I did. In the future, I’d recommend treating any new live plants for snails and other aquatic pests before adding them to your aquarium.

Hope this helps! Feel free to reply with any questions/comments!
