Baby snails?

[jmoore1197]

Anyone ever get baby snails. I now have 4 tiny snails. I would take pic but camera in shop. But they r about as big as a pin head. Anyone ever get these?? Do turbos or margaritas procreate in tanks? Or are these tiny hitchhikers?

I'm gonna give you pics of my baby "atlantic" ceriths.

Here's early on when I'm a proud new snail mom.
I had them all named!

and a bit later...

14 or so days later, note the algae. I left it for them to eat. Note, there are NO fish in this tank...
Starting to hatch...

A whole bunch hatched here...

Here's one just crawling away!!
That one's Gary...

Sadly not one made it...

They scooted off and were never seen again...%%
Now, I'll go back and resize them so they are smaller...oops...

What!!?? Collonistas are WAY bigger than a pinhead.

Maaaan, I was going for teeny tiny, lol.

WellSEWell they r pin head size. They said those r bb size. Mine aren't that big but I just thought maybe they will grow into bb size. So u think different species? Maybe I do have babies and not hitchhikers then!!! I hope for babies, I could use more snails. I only have 4 in my 30 gal
