Found this unwanted intruder oozing along my glass after I got some live plants . . .so far he's the only one I've seen and if he is the only one in there was just gonna let him be . . .does anyone know if this snail will get much bigger and/or be a danger to the fish? Sorry for the picture, best one I could get, to give an idea of the size he's only about 1/4" long, maybe about half the size of the nail on my pinky finger.

hard to make out, try and take a better pic
 
I would guess a common pond snail. If you dont want more then take it out, they multiply very quickly.
 
usually the shell is more helpful in IDing the snail. Probably just a pond snail, but could be and apple snail from this angle (y'know, still small), or some kind of ramshorn snail.
