Hey guys i was looking in one of my newer fish tanks. I was what looked like to be a snail? I did not put any sanils in there. Any help will not be tanken forgranted.

These snails are littlie and blackish/brownish.

Hi SworDTail KeePer

Most likely they are just little pond snails. Often they, or their eggs will come in on live plants. In general, they are harmless and many people consider them just another interesting inhabitant of their aquarium.

The only time they reproduce enough to take over the tank, is when there is an overabundance of uneaten food, left over from the fish. To avoid this problem, do not overfeed the fish and keep the gravel well vacuumed.

If you do wish to remove them, it's best to pick them out by hand and dispose of them. Never use any of the chemical prepations sold for this purpose.
