Snail Id please

[Anthony1976]

Hello everyone,
I’ve got these long pointed snails in my substrate not a huge amount but I keep finding a small amount when I do gravel cleans. Don’t look like Malaysian trumpet snails to me , should I remove them all? I didn’t put them in the aquarium btw so it’s a mystery where they came from

No one likes em!
It will take over your tank in just a week especially if you feed fish live food.

Colin is well known for his dislike of snails

If you have sand in your tank they are useful for burrowing into the sand and turning it over. As with many snails, the population only gets out of control if there is too much fish food put in the tank, or if the debris is not cleaned out.
