Hey guys, a couple of weeks ago i adopted 6 fry guppies, they where placed in an uncycled tank with and ornment, small internal filter and 2 live plants.... gravel substrate, the tank is around 8 gallons, and yesterday 2 tinyyyyyyyyyy snails appeared, is this good or bad ? do i leave them or love them ?

they are real cute, very small, i can only see one today but the fry are not really big enough to get the snails in there mouths yet.

the snails look like the shells are still see through or VERY thin white.

whats the verdict guys ?

I would just leave them for now. Snails are very good for tanks, especially without plants, as they help to eat the 'crud' in the tank that would otherwise break down and pollute the tank.
If they're that tiny, you probably won't be able to tell what specific kind they are until a couple months from now. So you can just leave them and then once you find out what exactly they are, you can go from there.

okay thats cool althought i DO have plants in this tank ?

again, it depends what type of snail. Some love the plants, some really don't care. If you really don't want them, loaches are really good at de-snailing your tank without using chemicals. Though it depends how big your tank is.
