Snails Everywhere

I went from having just a few to having a few and like 17 babies. Are these things born with shells or what?

yep they develop shells and that's pretty awesome that the conditions in your tank can support that.

Odds are good that they are actually hitchhiker snails. The name of them escapes me right now, but they stay small and are completely harmless. Most seem to come out more after lights off.

Do they look like these at all? (( for size reference, you can see part of a pink skunk and a blue Haddoni ))

Cool thanks guys

My tank constantly breeds snails. You can see that there is a large size variation in the same species of snail in my tank. However, not all of the snails are going to make it. There is only a limited food supply so a few will make it and the rest will just add shells to your substrate. I have found that if they breed once they will breed again.
