Snail infestation!!!

Almost sure they are nerites. There's is literally thousands of them on rocks and tank walls.

How normal is this and can they cause harm??!! I only put 6 adults in there last year.

Their fine. Consider yourself lucky. Plus youl loose a tun of them by the time they get big enough to do anything significant

I also have babies everywhere in the DT and fuge. They are great because they can get to places bigger snails cannot.

So are those really nerites? I was told they will not hatch in captivity?
and what will happen to my water once thousands of snails start dying?
