You are correct, even if kept alone Pond (Physidae, the 3/4 inchers, not the 2 - 3 inch species,Lymnaeidae) snails can auto-inseminate. Ramshorn (planorbis) may, I don't remember, but I don't think so, mine haven't yet.
However, snails in the Apple snail family cannot reproduce by themselves in isolation. They are male and female and need one of each sex to reproduce.

Aren't they the most fascinating creatures?

Note the right angles on the steps of the whorl -- and the neatly stacked wedding cake tiers of the spiral.
Beautiful snail, by the way.
What do I feed it? I know it probably eats algae off the tank is there enough to feed it forever?
