Snail ID

Does anyone know what kind of snail this is? They showed up in my b/f's tank and they look really interesting. I was hoping to take a few but not before I knew what they were (and what they would do and/or require).

They're about the size of a dime and they all have that stripe on them. Anyway, thanks!

Looks like a pond snail

Ramshorns. Ramshorns have spiral shaped shells. Pond snails have round shaped shells. MTS have cone shaped shells.

Then all these snails I have are mostly ramshorn....Wow I learned something Thanks Lupie

 

[thebullit]

yup ramshorns.

 

[stezatois]

Nice colour too

 

[msjinkzd]

yup, ramshorns. they are asexual and will reproduce readily with a food source. With good maintenance and no overfeeding they should not reproduce too much.

Awesome, thanks everyone!

I keep wanting to call the long spiral pond snails ramshorns, what are the horn shaped ones called then? Kinda look like a narwhal horn

The narwhal-horn, cone shaped ones are MTS (Malaysian Trumpet Snails).
