Where Do Snails Come From In An Aquarium

Where Do Snails Come From In An Aquarium? Tiny baby snails and eggs can float in the water when you get new fish or hitch a ride on plants. Because they are so small, you can easily overlook the baby snails and eggs, and it will seem they come out of nowhere. It is best practice not to get the water from the pet store or any other place you get your fish and shrimp in your aquarium. Washing your plant thoroughly before adding them to your aquarium is always a must, even if you don’t mind to get some snails in your aquarium. When you have a few snails in your tank and enough food to find, it won’t be long before you have a snail infestation. If you are finding your snail population is growing very fast, chances are high you might be overfeeding your tank.
