Careful, if you have one you may have 12.. they multiply like crazy. I must have had some eggs on my last scoop of Salvinia cause I just suddenly found 8 snails in my 2.5g fry tank today.

The kind that will take over your tank, raise your pH, very destructive and hard to get rid of once they’re established

I have bladders. I love them, they’re little underrated MVPs. They eat leftover food, break down bigger waste, and eat only decaying plant matte, and act like a canary in a coal mine, they are the first to notice anything off and will start going to the surface en masse since they physically feel water chemistry on their skin. Plus, they’re really cute and cool. They can surf under the water tension and often parasnail!
They do breed a lot, but like everything in life, if you stop providing the resources it needs to breed (overfeeding) than they won’t have the energy needed to make more babies. I think they’re really neat

Pond snail. Harmless algae and detritus eaters. Good at turning algae and detritus into plant fertilizer.
Known to eat hydra. Many different small species are common in aquariums. Only the Greater Pond Snail, *Lymnea stagnalis*, is known to eat plants, and they’re generally quite rare in captivity. Pond snails only reproduce heavily if you have a lot of dead plants or overfeed your fish.

Tadpole, or more accurately known as a pest snail. Good for the aquarium, but they multiply quickly. They donât need another tadpole to procreate, so watch out. IF you donât want a population of them in your aquarium, remove it now. Also look for some eggs in there already. They look like little bubbles on the glass or on the plants or decorations.
