I got new aquarium plants and my husband found a snail and threw it in the tank (he loves the snails).
Can anyone inform me of what type it is?

Also, algae is intentional for shrimpies.

Yeah they grow pretty fast. And I think they might be wizards that multiply out of thin air into a ton

Yes, they are cute and multiply pretty fast
I read it takes 8 weeks to multiply if theres no mate. And i know hes the only one

Luckily, im cycling a 10 gallon right now so ill probably leave him behind and the lack of abundant food should help keep him at bay until i figure out what i want in this 5 g

Pet stores call them nuisance snails because they multiply very fast and eat plants, so if it is in a planted aquarium get it out. In addition petco lets you keep them for free so I use them for my guppy breeder to take care of alge.
