Snails Squatting In My Tank

[Dan-CR4]

i got some plants in my tank and yesterday i found a snail, really really small. Today i found another 2, i am on day 34 of a fishless cycle and cant think how else they got in.

i have not taken a picture yet as im currently charging me camera batteries. but they are so small i doubt i would get a clear enough pic yet. just a really wild question, what types of snail could i expect to come with plants?

Trumpet snails mostly, if you dont want snails, dont over feed fish when you have them. If theres nothing to eat, they will starve. They also eat plants but dying/decaying ones.

Ramshorn snails are another possibility, if they have a more "classic" snail look rather than a cone.

Snails thrive in tanks which experience over feeding.

I noticed when I added some de-worming meds for my fish, it killed all snails.

Yep. Wormer plus can do this
Someone did an article regarding it a few years back. Can't find it though.
