Free Snail - Do I Keep?

Free Snail - Do I Keep? [Closed]

So I got a White Cloud and a Ghost Shrimp today, when I got home I found I got more than I was charged for, there was a snail tag along. It's very small, but I think it's a Gold Inca snail.

I got shrimp instead of snails because I didn't want to deal with snail eggs (and personally I'm not the biggest gastropod fan). So I was wondering if any of you had any thoughts on if I should keep it or return it to the store? Would it give me any undue trouble or increase the bioload a lot to keep it?

Edit: returned snail to the pet store.

Thought I'd ask the gastropoda fans for their opinion.

 

Can you post a picture?

No, my camera doesn't work. I'm not so worried about IDing it, just not sure if I want to keep it.

 

My wife wasn't a snail fan either until I put a tank on my desk and she started to watch them. They really are fascinating with their slow movements. I have mystery snails , which are larger than the Inca. They perform underwater ballet that is amazing. They move from plant to plant barely bending the leaves and then float gracefully to the floor. Your Inca snail should do the same. Why don't you watch him for a little while and see if he grows on you. My "snails are yucky" wife just bought some blue mysteries for her tank because they are "cool."

I had one once years ago.
I wasn't much of a gastropod fan after my invertebrate paleontology class.

 

The more you read about snails and slugs the more you realize that alien life isn't "out there" it's right under our noses. Like a lot of things in life, it's better to enjoy what you see and not delve too deeply. The sex lives of snails would outdo most kinks humans can think of. I love my bettas, but they tend to murder their mates after spawning. And the mesmerizing preying mantises are way out there. The male both comes and goes, providing a mate and a snack. Handy, unless you're the snack.
