Yesterday I found a baby snail in a tank ... a fry grow out tank in my kitchen. This tank was established with everything out of my main tank no worries done it before , no new plants wood rocks all from my tank .. with no snails .
How is it possible , I can’t show a photo as I was disgusted by the thing and smashed it into the kitchen floor
Any idea as where it’s come from ?

Possibly non-aquatic...or it was an egg that took a very long time to hatch, maybe?

I wonder if it was a malasian trumpet snail? They can live in your substrate and you'll never see them unless you overfeed.
