Something else came in my fish bag

[Guest54213]

Its some kind of snail not sure, what I got in my tank is one betta male and a group of julli catfish.

I saw something come out of it shell a little then go back in

My quality sucks sorry!

It looks like a ramshorn snail. Its a nice snail that will breed, but is a great algae cleaner and super friendly with all the fish.

Alright will it somehow breed alone or something

@RainGamma, yes, they are unique in a way that they can reproduce by themselves

What should I do? I really don’t want a lot of snails in my tank

I know in the past I've had loaches eat some of the baby snails.

If you do not over feed you fish, it will keep their population down, I have a nice ramshorn snail in my shrimp tanks and he does a great job of cleaning

I'm not seeing a ramshorn? Looks to be a bladder snail.

I agree, one of the Physid snails sitting on a couple of stones. The first snail species in this thread https://www.fishforums.net/threads/freshwater-snail-species-in-the-hobby.424364/

That’s a bladder snail, also called pond snails. I’m 100% positive.

They are similar, but bladder snails and pond snails aren't the same snails. Pond snails are Lymnaea species, bladders are Physella species. These ones look to be bladders.
