Bladder snail???

[david.molloy2009]

I have a 120ltr tank with sand substrate, a few rocks.
I have an active community tank consisting of platies, guppies, neon tetras and Danios. I also have 2 snails (1 assassin and 1 nertle) and some amano shrimps.
The tank is thriving and I have no concerns with my set up, however.....

I used to have plants and I inherited a comet goldfish. The goldfish damaged the plants so I removed them, "thankfully" the goldfish passed and the tank settled down so I decided to get some more plants. I got some needle grass and 2 unknown plants from a local fish store.

I looked today and found this snail on my wires and I think it is a bladder snail.

2 questions.
1) is it a bladder snail ?
2) are they a problem or a decent addition to my clean up crew.

A side note...
Is there anyone here who might be able to identify they plants

It is one of those snails commonly called bladder snails - and pond snails and tadpole snails. It's either a physid species or a limnaeid speces depending which way the shell spirals.

These are not bad snails, they are actually quite useful, but they can multiply out of control. The more food they have, the more there will be. Don't over feed the fish!

I love typos and autocorrect
Danish plates and nertles

plants look like bacopa and a type of rotala
