Snails multiplying in my tank. Need I.D.

I’ve got litterally hundreds of these snails in my sand bed. Anyone know what they are?

Not something I have the expertise to chime in on but I'm always interested to know which cleanup critters will breed in the tank.

Nassarius. They breed in tanks. I’m on my 7th generation of them.

Wow! How do you do it? I hear that the young usually do not make it.

I literally do nothing. I just put 5 or 6 in our tank two years ago and every so many months babies just show up.

My tank is Litterally crawling with them. When I feed frozen food they come up out of the sand bet by the hundreds. That’s the only time I see them
