Huh?

[Nuttygal! :0)]

I have had an empty 5gal sitting in my room for ages. So I added gravel, never been used, and two fake plants, straight out of the packet. Then filled it up with tap water and dechlorinated it. Today, there's a big snail it in! And it was moving quite fast ~ for a snail, anyway! ~ where on earth did it come from? There's no real plants! Anyway, that did not have a lid, so I've moved it to another 5gal betta tank that does have one!
His name is Speedy.

mabe it was in the gravel...never heard of it before but i could happen

 

[Nuttygal! :0)]

I don't have a clue what type it is, germanshepherdlver, I don't do snails! It's about 5mm, is brown, as moves quite fast(ish). The gravel had been sitting dry in a bag for ages, then decided I wanted to put it in the tank!
