Generally sea snails can live up to anywhere between 6 weeks or 5 years. This is dependent on how well suited they are to their environment in captivity.

Is a mollusk closest to a reptile or a mammal or amphibian or fish?

The mollusk phyllum (which includes snails, slugs, octupus, squid and some other animals) are more like related to fish. Both groups live in or have to stay close to water (notice how snails/slugs dry out if they get in the sun too long). Mollusk are all invertebrate animals (no backbone), while today's fish are indeed vertebrates. Some of the jawless fish (like the Hagfish or the Lamrey Eel) have a very flexible vertebrate that would almost appear as if they didn't have one if you were to grab them.

What type of fish make sea shells?

Short Answer: Fish do not make sea shells. Long Answer: Sea Shell: the hard protective outer case of a mollusk or crustacean. That includes the calcium carbonate shells made by clams and snails and the chitin/calcium shell of crabs and lobsters and the like. Fish: fish are a catch-all group that includes species with backbones, fins but no limbs, get oxygen through gills, and live in water. This includes hagfishes, sharks, bony fishes and more. If you consider a sea shell to be anything hard you'd find washed up on the shore, perhaps you might consider fish bones to be a sea shell, but this would be wrong, because a shell is usually on the outside of an organism. Many animals are called fish which aren't fish, like starfish and jellyfish, but they are not true fish. In the Devonian era, around 400 million years ago, fish with bony armored plates called placoderms swam the sea. This is probably the closest to sea shells you can get from a fish, since it's outside the body and hard, but they aren't alive today. Therefore, since fish are vertebrates, and sea shells come from invertebrates, fish do not make sea shells.
