It was literally 1mm and my camara couldn't catch it lol! I'll take another one when I see it again. It was pretty round so my guess is a ramshorns? I have no clue ngl.
I plan on adding neocaridina, clithon corona and otos and don't want them to starve (I first want to add swimming fish first, so like in a month I'll add those I mentioned that need the algae)
Should I try hunting it down? I know that they say, if there's one, there's more but idk if they will be beeficial or detrimental...

the old “prepper” mantra , “one is none” doesn’t apply to bladder snails, one means tons 😉
 
I see a bladder/pond snail. Some people like them. I don't know why. I consider them a plague in waiting, and kill them on sight. I've reduced the population in my many tanks, but they do tend to bounce back if you take the pressure off them.
 
Looks like I got both bladder and ramshorn as I just picked out of the water a super round and cute one LOL, looks like an ammonite!
