How Many Days Do Bladders Snail Take To Reach Maturity

I've been working on a 10 gallon dwarf puffer tank for about a month now and I'm getting pretty close to being able to add one. The tank is nearly cycled and planted but the only thing holding me back (besides the cycling) is my snail breeding. I wanted to be able to breed them as not quite a staple but enough to where the puffer can eat them several times a week. I have about 7 adult bladder snails in a 1 gallon tank that have probably made about 20 egg clutches so far and I can count about 10-20 babies every time I check but they will not grow. If anyone has experience with bladder snail breeding or whatever please tell me around how many days it takes for them to grow to maturity.

 

I don't think people breed bladder snails on purpose...? They just end up in your tank. I do think they are cute.

Otherwise it should only take a few days right?

it's been at least a week since the first babies hatched and I have some other babies in a mason jar that hatched at least 2 weeks ago and they're still so small. I assumed it would be really fast too but no /: I know it's weird to breed them but I've seen other people do it for dwarf puffers and I really just don't want them breeding in there bc they're so messy and dwarf puffers are already messy enough.

 

I always thought they started earlier, but I have read several research papers that state Physa acuta reaches sexual maturity anywhere from 28 - 32 days after hatching. Can provide links if needed.
