Snail Identification Help

[Kirahn]

We got this snail as a hitchhiker on some plants we purchased a while ago. When I first found him he was tiny, maybe 1/4 inch. In the 10 days since, he's tripled in size.

Just looks like a bladder snail. If you don’t want them to take over your tank remove it as soon as you can

Figures, I was hoping for something else I guess. My daughter (3 1/2 years) fell in love with her 'Baby Snail' as soon as she saw it in the tank. Now she searches for it every night =)

Get her a mystery snail. She will forget about that bladder snail real quick, hehe.

From what I've read about bladder snails, is it likely already too late? Has it already laid eggs in there? I got the plants quite a while ago and I only just found this guy a week ago.

Its possible. I had some come in on some plants and I crusH them every day and leave them as shrimp food.

I don't know if I have anything that will eat them, Cardinal Tetras, Corys, moonlight gourami and a BN Pleco. I'll probably need to just remove em.

What’s your tank size? You could borrow some loaches

It's a 54 gallon Corner tank. But I'm currently also fighting some issue where all my guppies died off after a tank change so I am waiting a bit before getting more fish.

I just saw your other thread. Just remove them by hand
