I recently purchased live plants from my local pet store and put them into my respective 10 and 20 gallon high tank. Recently, while looking at the tank, I noticed that in both tanks there are what appears to be baby snails on the tank walls. I was shocked to see them in the 20 gallon because I have never had any snail in the tank (All I have are Rasbora and Tetra along with Cabomba and floating water sprite). The 10 gallon did have one mystery snail in it, but unfortunately the snail died (I don't think it really stood a chance as it wasn't in great condition from the store).
My question was, should I let them go and see what happens, or should I introduce some form of shells into the tank so that the snails can find a shell? If I can wait for this process, how long should I wait before introducing shells to them?
Thanks!
