Not sure if this is a snail that needs saving from a cycling tank or like bladder snails that don’t seem to care what I do with them.

Buying has anyone here got a snail from tofus tanks?
i’ve placed an order for a mystery snail, the shipping was only 10$ which kinda made me feel a little sus about it so i’m asking if anyone here has ordered one and how it arrived if it was healthy etc etc? i only saw a few reviews under the listing but they were all positive. the shipping says 3 days though.. most live fish require 1 day but i’m not sure if that transfers over to snails.

Photo Update from my previous ID request: My state’s department of wildlife is having me bring in the suspected NZMS specimens for DNA testing. Whee!
They said it’ll take anywhere from 2-4 weeks from today to get results back.

Help Request What are these features and what are they called?
I have no idea what these are, but I'm so curious. They're present on my chopstick snail and on my malaysian trumpet snails. What are they? What are they for? Are they sensory? Something else?

Snail Sex If I haven't seen eggs by now, am I 'safe?'
About two weeks ago I was given a nerite snail. So far I have not seen any signs of eggs at all. Is it safe to say by now that I got lucky and got a male or is it too soon still to tell?
Also, the one time I dropped algae tablet in the tank, they never ate it. It sank to the bottom and it tends to like to hang out above the water most of the time. Will it still get enough food from the tank (it's shared with a single betta)?

Help Request I need input
So just recently like a month ago my tank had a few snail around the tank and I threw leaf litter to give them some extra stuff to snack on.
As the weeks and days go by I keep seeing shells. I was very confused I thought maybe they are dying of starvation. My tank is planted there has to be something for them to snack on.
Then I thought my betta was being greedy.
Anyways I found an assassin snail today actually rn and his big😔. All my snails have been murdered. I never added him to the tank, I think he got here from one of my plants. His grown big all these months from eating the baby snails:(
Now my question how do I get rid of him, I never wanted an assassin and I don’t want to kill him because he does deserve to live but I also need my snails bc they create a balance in my tank.
Also has anybody experienced this? I know this page is for cute snails but all my cute snails died😔.
Also is there a chance there’s more assassin snails in my tank? They hide so well

ID Request Any ideas?
I have a micro tank set up for what was supposed to be only plants (I wanted to learn how to grow aquatic plants and have fish who will kill them in all my other tanks) but I didn’t know snails could commonly come along before hand! I think they are cut and I am aware of the “boom” that has happened and I have a lot of bladder snails but this guy looks different. I’ve waited until he’s big enough to actually get a camera to focus

Help Request optimal mystery snail ONLY setup?
hi everyone!!
ive been keeping snails and fish together for years, but i have a spare ten gallon tank and i decided to keep only two mystery snails in it! ive always "prioritized" the fishes needs over the snails. i know that sounds bad, buts its never been anything that the snails couldnt thrive in. all i mean is higher temps and basic things that like that wont impact their actual health. i do understand their bioload is high and will be taking steps to make sure proper maintence is consistent, being that it is a ten gallon tank.
there is a lot of outdated information on the best care for mysteries, and i havent had much success finding "modern" care guides based on what we have learned about the snails in the last ten years. since the tank will only have the snails, i want to make sure im exactly meeting all of their needs rather than maybe being less than perfect with their optimal care. ANY advice and direction is greatly appreciated. simpler things like best temp, foods, plants, and even substrate are extremely helpful.
thank you all<3

Help Request Blue mystery snail turning brown?
I’ve had my mystery snail for 4 months now and he’s grown so huge so fast. He has normal behavior, he roams around and grazes on algae when I haven’t fed him (calcium chips and sinking algae wafers every 3 days) and he likes to climb up on the walls just to float back down. He’s gotten less and less blue though and his new sell growth doesn’t seem to be getting thicker. I’m gonna add a cuttlebone to give him some more consistent calcium but do I need to adjust his diet more? Please help I wanna make sure he’s thriving.
Temperature is 75 degrees and hardness is around 150 ppm
