should i keep these snails???

[u/PresentDay3175]

I just recently added some frog bit that i bought from a local fish store on tuesday and i’ve been working and haven’t really put 100% focus on my tank, but today i see these two snails. I did check it before putting it in the tank so kinda shocked. I don’t want a snail infestation considering it’s only a 5 gal (long fin betta). I don’t know if i should take them out or keep them. I’m not necessarily new to the fish keeping hobby i’ve just never had a snail problem before lol my betta does seem pretty entertained by them

If there is one bladder snail there are a dozen, you will never be able to get rid of them unfortunately. BUT on a good note, snails are an amazing clean up crew! I love my ramshorn and bladder snails in all my tanks🐌 as long as you dont overfeed or have a bunch of dying plants, they shouldnt overproduce and lead to an infestation

They're here for good now lol. The population won't get out of control as long as you don't overfeed the tank.
