Pond / Bladder snails . You need to get rid of them, and look for egg sacks. Clear goo.

No need to get rid of anything. Snails populations are a good indicator of your tank health (too many snails = you’re overfeeding your fish) and they help you remove dead leaves and generally dead things.
Edit: you clearly have snails.

You do now 🙂 probably a hitchhiker from plants.
A bladder snail and I believe they reproduce asexually from a month old, so you’ll have more shortly. They keep algae down and don’t eat healthy plants – also if you’re over feeding, you’ll get lots of snails so they work as a litmus test for that!

Looks like a bladder snail they stay super small. If the snails Head is facing up like it’s crawling vertically up the glass if the point on his shell faces the left it’s a bladder snail if the point on the shell points right it’s a pond snail, pond snails get a little bigger but not much. embrace it, it’s fun having snails lol. If you grab any kind of plants from anywhere besides a solitary plant container at a pet store you will get these critters
