Need Snail ID

[BioHazard]

What are these snails?
They have an operculum. They move in "scrunches", not smoothly like a Brig. The largest is about an inch. The face is somewhat brig-like, with dark skin and yellow stripes.
I'd like to know genus, if possible.

Notice the face pointing out to the side, and the yellow stripes.

Are these something that you wild caught? If so, from where?

They look like some sort of Rabbit Snail - Sulewesi (sp) Snail.

Wild caught from the Susquehanna. That's why I'm a little confused. Ive caught plenty of viviparidae and physa, but nothing like these guys.

Wow they are nice snails either way, hope you can ID them.

Pleuroceridae family. That doesn't help much, but it's someplace to begin right?

I think I have it narrowed down to family level at least. I believe the family is Pleuroceridae.

Apparently they are found around the world, and usually require unpolluted, oxygenated water. That's odd, though, because the area I got it from certainly didn't look pristine. I will also talk with my Freshwater Biology prof. I'm thinking about keeping a couple... wish I had an extra tank. Wonder if I can get a small tank cheap somewhere...

Heck, ten gallon tanks are like $12 bucks brand new... Time to hit Craigslist? LOL.

These are the known species of Pleuroceridae in PA:

Elimia livescens
Elimia virginica
Leptoxis carinata
Leptoxis dilatata
Lithasia obovata
Lithasia verrucosa
Pleurocera acuta
Pleurocera canaliculata

Hopefully it'll be more help than headache, I would imagine searching, image-searching and comparing them all to get a clear ID would be quite tedious.
