Assassin Snail behavior

I bought 5 baby assassin snails 3 weeks ago. He sent 10 to account for any that may not make it during shipment. They were very tiny. About the size of a sesame seed and 10 total. I saw them crawl away and I haven't seen them since. Is this normal? How long will it take for them to come out if even alive? Meanwhile I'm getting over run by pond snails. The one time I think I saw one of them was when I introduced my mystery snail. A tiny snail came out and started chasing him around and then lost interest. Is there a rest in can do? This is a 10 gallon plantef betta tank with mopani and no artificials .
 
Hello. Welcome to AC.

Even adult assassin snails spend a lot of time buried and hidden. You may not see them for weeks or months as small as those are. I've had baby assassin snails just appear out of no where at about 1/4" long, and I never even knew they were there until then.
