how big do common pond snails get and what is the life expectency on one. last month or so one got in to my tank on some of my anarcharis from my pond and now it is bigger than any of the snails i have ever seen in the pond outside! i didnt know they even got bigger than the size of a dime! Should i take it out, and is there any possibility it could drop eggs (i dont want that to happen)
thanks in advance
