    Default Snails in with my FBT's

    I have a 40L full aquatic with 5 very healthy, social and happy FBT's with all live vegitation. I have recently noticed that what looks like snails moving around Rocks, Plants, my Waterfall etc, etc. They are very small so I cant get a picture but I did look at them through the glass with a magnifine glass and I am almost positive they are Snails. I didnt put them there but they seem to have just developed in the enclosure.

    Is this a problem? Should I let them be or remove them?


    EDIT: I got a couple pictures. They are fuzzy but I had to zoom is so close to actually capture a picture of them. (they are small) but there are about 8 in there.

    if you don't mind them, you can leave them be, but they will multiply, and quickly. if you are not a fan of snails, you can remove or crush them. they probably were hitchhikers on a plant or two.
