Shrimp or snail babies? Pic Included

[RhondaAnn]

Hello everyone,
Here's my story and question:
A couple days ago I was vaccuuming out my 20 gallon tank which resides:
4 Balloon Mollies
3 cory cats
several ghost shrimp
1 snail (not positive if it is a Mystery snail) I bought it because I felt sorry for it.

While vaccuuming I noticed that I was suctioning out something so tiny but alive! I assumed they were ghost shrimp babies. My husband thinks they are snails. I saved as many as I could and gave them their own 6.6 gallon bookself tank that I use for baby fish. I put some in a fishbowl so I could get the best picture I could so I could get help identifying them. Here they are, also adding a pic of the snail for ID help. I would like to know what the babies are and also what kind of snail this is.

I am assuming this snail is pretty old or has had a rough life. I like it all the more...

I'm not an expert but I'm guessing baby snails. Cool and congrats either way

I say snails if I had to guess between snails and shrimp. Those are not pom. bridgesii babies though (which is what your large adult snail is in the picture).

seed shrimp?

"Pond" snails I believe.

I thought maybe shrimp, but im not sure if shrimp have a tendency to roll up if they get vac'd lol

those are not shrimp, I would guess some sort of hitchiking invert critter. Is your tank planted?

 

[msjinkzd]

I do agree they could be an ostracod (seed shrimp)

Wow, you are all fast at answering! Yes, my tank is semi-planted. I looked up seed shrimp and Ostracods and ya, I agree... I believe that is what they are. Well, that's no fun... what do I do with them now? LOL...
Thank you guys for the fast response!
