OK, so a few days ago I baught a few apple snails and mixed snails from the aquarium store. I cant find any of them. My tank is sealed but I'm guessing they got through the filtration or someone ate them.

Anyways, so here I am outside smoking a cigarette in pompano beach, south florida and I see these two. One riding on the back of the other lol. Are these aquatic snails that I should put "back" into my aquarium or is this just south florida?

I paid for an albino apple snail, I don't see him in the aquarium but somehow this little guy is outside.. Should I put these two in the aquarium, or am I drowning them? I put them in the betta aquarium to see what happens and they just hangout at the surfacre.

This is horrible and embarrassing to ask lol but I dont know if these are my pets or native species that I should put back outside. Someone, please help.

The one on the outside of the vase is non aquatic and the one inside the vase I feel like is also non aquatic.
 
So I should put them outside? This honestly looks exactly like the albino apple snail I paid for... I know this whole scenario is tucked (excuse the language)..
 
The inside snail's shell looks too flat to be a mystery snail. I honestly doubt it's what you bought unless they lied to you and sold you a non aquatic snail.
 
U have lots of hiding its gonna be hard to find a snail in there lol Definetly didnt escape they are known to get in the filters though in my experience check ur filter
 
Those are land snails, which I don't believe are native, so keep them in a moist aquaria or large jar as pets!
