Snails?
So if any of you know me after 2 tank crashes while my 55 gallon was young i finally got it right i have damsels now but there going to new homes and I'm planing to add new fish. However i have 3 nassa snails and they had babies but I'm confused because i see the babies but not only them i had turbos and it looks like they had babies to even though they died it seems the eggs made it but now i see so many different kinds idk whats going on theres so many ideas there seems to be like 4 species I'm not sure though. help....

Whats the question/problem?
Yes snails do reproduce like any other living creature.. Yes life happens in an aquarium.. Yes "life" can be introduced into a tank without you intentionally putting it there.. Stuff can come in on live sand, live rock, corals,etc... I've got hundreds of species of animals in my tank that I did not intentionally put there.. Snails to worms to pods to sponges,etc...

Its like a "cycle"... tanks can take time to "mature".. One day you can start a saltwater tank and a month later you can have hundreds of pineapple sponges growing and thousands of pods walking on the glass and billions of bacteria and a month later all those pineapple sponges can be gone and now you have dozens of aiptasia and brittlestars and next month you won't have any of either but a new pink sponge has started to grow and it lasts for years in the tank.. And snails do it.. and fish do it.. and corals do it.. and well.. back to "its life"
