Help needed identifying snail in tank

[bluemandarin]

Hi bros,

Need some help indentifying what this snail is. Recently noticed about 3 in my nano planted setup and I definitely did not put them there. Probably got into the tank when I put in plants. They have brownish/green shells and spend alot of time on the glass/leaves of plants.

Are these snails dangerous to plants and should I take action to remove them?

Have attached a picture below.

they looks like normal pond snails to me. yes, they will eat your plants and better to remove them asap.

by the way, they breeds very fast.

You can use puffers to eat the snails. Removing by hand is harder as some snails will confirm be hiding somewhere where you hand cant reach.

You can pass it to me to clear my seed shrimps...
Once cleared, I will to next on the queue.

Or u can put assassin snails. Puffers can be aggressive and attack other fish. Assassin snails on the other hand, generally only attack snails.

I have them in my tank, one tank with tetra, so i leave it to breed. Another in CRS tank but trapped inside breeding box as it helps to clean my plant off dead leaves etc in the breeding box. :P
