Do snails apply to the inch per gallon rule?
I was just wondering.. I have a mystery snail in my fish tank and i thought it would be nice to get one or two more. Would this put much stress on the tank? Its not a fish so im not sure if it counts.

If you only have 1 mystery snail, you wont get any others. A male and a feamle is required for breeding.
If you have hundreds of snails, then yes it will have an impact on bioload
