I believe I had a baby ramshorn(?) snail in my aquarium and it has been more than a week since I havent spotted it anymore, but I did notice at least 3 bladder snails in there. What could have went on with this guy?

That’s a mini ramshorn notice the flat shell. They don’t tend to get much larger than 5 to 8 mm Max size.

Probs still in there. I have a huge ramshorn in one of my tanks there are several times I thought it may have died because i wont see it for the longest time. Always shows up eventually. Theres also the chance it died obviously, when they are that young and small they are a bit fragile. Also having both bladder and ramshorns could be an issue later on in the far future. They tend to compete for food which can lead to one speices being out competed or both not getting enough. In my experience ramshorn outcompete bladder snails. If its just one ramshorn you do not need to worry about that though due to ramshorn not being able to reproduce asexually.
