Last night I was just checking on my freshwater tank and I looked closer and I saw little tiny snails that had wiskers!! then I found another one and another one. I can't take a picture it's like impossible to do because they're so small. It's the kind of snail that has a really tall point. And half of it's body is white then the other half is black. Thanks
 
do the shell shapes look like this? The colors and patterns may vary but that's a Malaysian Trumpet Snail (MTS).

They're extremely hardy, almost impossible to get rid of but harmless to keep, and no extra care is needed for them :)

They burrow around so they're really a plus when you have sand to avoid dead pockets. The smell from dead pockets tend to be really horrible and you don't want your substrate to become compact.
 
Yeah it's a trumpet snail but It's shell isn't that long. I found a kind of smallish, mediumish snail with a VERY small one
