Been working on this 55 gallon tank for what seems like 2 lifetimes. Finally got all the gear and filled it. Got a bunch of various plants from a local aquarium specialist store. After filling and running the filter for a day i noticed a snail attached to the front pane. It is the same sort that the aquarist store kept in their plant tanks to keep algae at bay.
I know nothing about snails. I know certain species are invasive and can be a serious nuisance. I was toying with the idea of snails in my tank. Should i get him out of there or just leave him be? If anything, maybe he becomes a snack for one of my fish once the nitrogen cycle is complete.
Would post a pic, but i cant get a good angle on it. It has a black shell and is around 1/2 inch.
Any thoughts?
