I have a black devil spike snail, and I was wondering if they reproduce in freshwater. Because I just say in my tank what appears to be a small snail. Do I need to buy a shell for the new snail? I’ve never had snails before so I need help
Totally possible. And highly likely. It's probably a bladder snail. Don't panic. Despite what I'm sure others are about to chime in with, they're an incredibly beneficial member of a healthy ecosystem.I did purchase some water wisteria a couple of weeks ago is it possible it has just showed itself now?
I have about 30-40 baby bladder snails in my aquarium as we speak. I don’t want all of them, but I don’t really want to Kill them either.Totally possible. And highly likely.

Snails make their own shells. From the picture you linked it looks like the little guy isn't having any difficulty making his. Snails can have some problems if the water is too soft... mine are semi-transparent due to water softness.I have a black devil spike snail, and I was wondering if they reproduce in freshwater.

The population will boom at first due to tons of food in the form of biofilm and algae, but they'll die back to a manageable level as they eat through most of it and the food supply dwindles.I have about 30-40 baby bladder snails in my aquarium as we speak.

Agreed. Can we get another angle possibly?That picture doesn’t quite look like a bladder snail though
Good to know, thanks. I was kind of hoping that would be the caseThe population will boom at first due to tons of food in the form of biofilm and algae, but they'll die back to a manageable level as they eat through most of it and the food supply dwindles.
