swirly was a random snail that was on a plant i got from my LFS... and.. i couldnt bare to wash him down the drain so i kept him.. then he laid a millon eggs all over..
I did the same thing with the snail I just couldn't get myself to "kill"! I still can't and now I have a million of them! It's ok though! I got a weather loach and he's doing a good job of getting rid of the little buggers and I don't have to feel guilty for killing them myself!!
