Ok someplace along the line I've managed to introduce 2 snails into my tank. I think it was probably way back on the first batch of plants since I was much less careful and the two I've seen were far too large for me to have introduced at the size they were spotted yesterday and this morning without me noticing. I say two, because I've seen just two and they have very different shell shapes.
One is just slightly smaller than a dime, and has a shell that looks like a ramshorn snail.
The other is about half that size but has a pointier shell like the apple snail pictures.
Are snails with two different snail shells the same type? or did I somehow manage to get two different types of snails in my tank?
I know that some snails are hermaphrodites and just need two snails to make population explosions, which I'm very much NOT interested in. But if its just one or two snails I'm much more ambivalent about their presence and would probably just leave them alone at least for now.
