This snail appeared in my shrimp tank a few months ago. He has since quadrupled in size. I suspect he came in on the moss in the bag they were in. I haven't noticed any other snails and I like him but I'm wondering what type he is? And if he/she has the ability to reproduce without a mate?

common pond snail. It will reproduce like mad. They lay eggs on the glass or on plants. Eggs look like little spots in a group.
 
Aww man:(
I guess ill get rid of him and buy a snail from the fish store that won't make tons of babies
