I put some cuc in my tank around a month ago and also a few snails from the marsh by my house was just wondering if I have some bad things going on..... because there is lots of them mostly at night I'm super new at this and I probably did something stupid.
Would love any help thanks

Be careful with the marsh snails. If they're from brackish water they may not survive and could foul up your tank. Also, some snails such as whelks can be predatory. Best to stick to the ones you can identify. Not to mention the chances of introducing parasites/pathogens. If that one came from the marsh I'd guess some type of periwinkle.

Thanks guys. I started out putting local things in the tank when I first set up thinking it would be cool and I'm still paying for it

Some type of Periwinkle was my guess too. They are all over the marsh grass here in Charleston.
