The apple should be fine in a five gallon unless you have live plants, which may be munched. Just keep in mind that they are big and a bit messy, so should be counted as another fish in a small tank.
The trumpet snail may reproduce, and it/its offspring will live in the substrate, burrowing around and eating detritus

ok now that i'v got my snail types together should i stick with the apple or the trap door? and could one or either surface in the unheated frog tank
Good plan
That 5gal is pretty full, huh? Have you thought about moving up to a ten?

alright so my apple snail had a whole in his shell. i didnt think much of it because i knew that they could survive with snall holes in the shell. weeelllll this morning the cory's were going to town pulling out his guts through the whole. i walked down to the fish store with it and they let me swap it out for another trap door. i also picked up two otto's. here's my problem though. i just did a water change and i noticed that there was a tiny little baby snail on the side of the glass. was this just stuck on one of the snails i just got or did one of them give birth in the short time i had them. and if there's 1 does that mean there's more?
Oh, poor guy! Trapdoor snails are livebearers, but should only breed once or twice a year. So it's unlikely, but possible that way! Apples lay eggs, so that option is out.
This is a good website to see if you ended up with some other type of snail:

Unfortunately, otocinclus probably can't survive in your tank
They're super delicate. They require pristine water and aquatic plants, and shouldn't be kept in tanks under twenty gallons :/

i've kept otos in that tank before with some success. the only reason they died last time i think is that they ate all the algae and i forgot to throw in some vegies for them. but believe me there is enough algae in the tank right now to hold these guys over for a LOOONG time.
