Help New Snail Issues

11 years ago

I got (on a whim) a small beta tank (1 gal) with filter and light. We bought gravel, plants and set it up without any prep (cycling). The plants were from the big plant tanks at PetSmart. They had tons of snails in those tanks and we were lucky enough to get three. One tiny tiny, one small, and one grown one. No idea what kind of snails they are. The petsmart lady said at most we would cycle for one day with a water conditioner for betas. We didn't use it because the snails were in already on the plants and I figured that would be toxic. My questions are what type of snail do you think these are coming from PetSmarts plant tank and what are the chances they will be okay without the water conditioner or cycling?
