Hi!!

For the past weeks, I watched tiny snails growing in my tank, I completely ignoredd it, but now I noticed there are tons of snails and some of them are growing, still tiny but growing, just in 1 glass today I counted 17.

So I was wondering if any of you guys can identify this type of snail, I took a cocouple pictures of one of them with a digital microscope, here are the pictures.

Collonista snails, good guys, they reproduce like rabbits.
