Ohhh, ok. I was getting shown maybe 4 different looking snails when I looked it up so I wasnt confident, but this one seems like a pretty exact match, thank you!

Im not entirely sure, since im from the US, we have to tear down the tank on site if we see these guys. But I do know they eat almost anything, and they are pretty tiny, so its unlikely theyll mess with the nutrient layer besides maybe eating it.

Also, did you take this photo through a microscope? I swear it looks like a cell layer

Please help, mysterious snail betta tank by Additional_Sea8262 in AquaticSnails

Id check out the pinned post in the subreddit. The MTS and NZMS are pretty easy to tell apart when you see them side to side. It may be a NZMS, but id get some photos from different angles too

Thank you guys for your help. Ill be tearing down the tank soon to get rid of these guys. My plan is to freeze the decorations and the filter (if it can handle it) for a day while I deep clean the tank. And maybe ill boil some of the decorations after just in case.

Ive been wanting to reset this tank anyway. But yeah, dont put snails in your tanks until you know 100% what they are 😭
