Invasion in my tank!!!!

Man... this is not cool!!! I came home today and found there are white dots everywhere in my tank, and I had a closer look and I was shock, they are BABIES!!! I am suspecting they are snail babies, which can be PEST!!



I didn't notice any egg lavae, or any lump at all for the last few days and now suddenly this shell hanging on the side of the tank and babies crawling everywhere. I've checked the internet and wondering whether they are the baby snails of my 2 Apple snails, but they are not. The picture shown normally apple snails has pink color eggs. By comparing the size of the empty shell stuck to my tank, they are definitely not apple snail eggs. Then it must be the one and only pond snail i have in the tank, and guess what I found on internet....

Pond snails are hermaphroditic, meaning a single individual produces both egg cells and sperm cells.

Looks like I am in deep shit!!!



I alreayd noticed most of the snails already crawling to the top of the tank, and soaking up the heat from the lighting. I think I will just give them a big swipe and get rid of them..... what a disaster... :(
