Tiny Snails Good or Bad?

[Mahawka]

Hey guys,

I found a bunch of tiny snails in my tank today. They are all stuck on the glass wall. They are so tiny I can't really take a picture of them. They are about 1 mm in size or smaller. Circular spiral shells. I can easily see 150+ of them. Some of them are super stuck to the glass

I have 2 Tubo snails in my tank. Is it possible that they spawned?


Does anyone have any thoughts on what these could be? Should I try to manually remove them before they spread? Or are these healthy snails that I should keep ?


Thanks

Picture would help, I have a tonof nasaairous (sp) snails that spawn in my tank and seeing as how you got things from me it could be that. I have hundreds of then in my tank.

I had to take one out inorder to take a photo of it. For a size reference Photo number 2 was taken on top of a Toonie.

Defiantly not what I have but looks like a turbo or Astraea snail to me.

Bump! Any thoughts ?

Colonista snail. Completely harmless but can multiply fast if food source is available

I have lots of these for quite a long time. Never, in my estimation, too many.
They are part of a cleanup crew, but will happily munch on algae on my glass as well.
Could be unsightly to some, but I like them. lol

If there stuck on they can also be spiral worms , harmless little filter feeders.

they are not worms for sure. It's a shell.

Thanks for all the info. I will keep them in my tank.
