My fish tank is full of snails. I have no idea how this happened; the only thing I've introduced into the tank in the last several months is tap water, water conditioner, shrink-wrapped filter cartridges, and fish food. No new fish or plants. So do snails just spontaneously generate? I noticed a single one a few weeks ago, and thought "huh, that's weird" and promptly forgot about it. Then when I looked again a couple of days ago, saw that there were tons and tons of them.

I'll have to double-check, but I don't recall that snails in your aquarium are bad unless you have live plants (since they'll eat them) which I don't. So, go snails, I guess.
