Most probarly came from live plants that you brought. If they can get to a lot of food you will soon be over run, so control how much you feed your fish.

Are they pond snails, ramshorns, or Malaysian trumpet snails?
Pond snails can eat your plants, so watch out.

I noticed 1 little snail a week ago or so...but now they're like 7...and getting bigger each day, i'm getting excited about their growth, though I heard they can be pests because of how fast they reproduce...which seems kinda true, anyway my guess is the plant I bought had snail eggs and they hatched eventually...

I'm not exactly sure snails come out of nowhere you know...i reckon when they handed the plant to me there were a coupleof snails in the tank, probably they mated and left eggs on the plant...that's the only explanation that makes sense to me, because no matter how you put it, I find it impossible for a snail to randomly appear out of plants...

errr. I posted like a few hours ago, why did u double post?

If you want to remove IT, just leave a piece of lettuce in the tank overnight, and then lift it out in the morning, hopefully the snail will be on it. But as i said, you only have 1 atm, so just watch how much you are feeding your fish and they wont multiply.

 

[aly_starh]

errr.. well if you want more.. feed your fish more,, leave more food lying around the tank! But the might make your filter crash

On a side note: OP wants more snails

Snails happen -
I've tyried my best to keepthem out of my tank - carefully checking any plants
before they go in.
Yet I keep finding tiny little ones crawling up the glass - or the filter etc.
I always remove them, then a couple of days later another one appears.
I think its called "immaculate conception" !
