"Quarenteening is NEVER pointless. It may be something not 100% necessary but it will never hurt anything...its a lot easier to be safe than sorry. Snails can carry parasites like Ich and pass them on to your fish even though the snail itself won't get sick...its simply a carrier. QT for a snail is much shorter than for a fish because all they do is carry nasties, you only have to QT for however long the lifecycle of the parasite you're concerned about is. For ich, I would QT for about 2 weeks...but if there wasn't any sign of paracites in the tank system you bought the snail from then you should't have anything to worry about. "
