Weird snail for ID

[lucas_1957]

Hi guys, i found some water snails in my tank. the shape of the shell looks different from that of the normal pond snail. Possible for anyone to ID it?

Small apple snail?

[lucas_1957]

Nope, the size is that of a normal pond snail, and it already start laying eggs. Apple snail must be much bigger then mature

Ohh... I got those normal pond snails in my tank as well and they really can move fast.

As for your unidentified snail, best is to have a brighter picture with details. Current pictures abit dark to see

Will try, my camera only 7 megapixels just an ordinary camera a bit hard to take small objects.

i think not lah, there are many individuals like that, like about 8-9, and the babies also have the same shell shape. If you observe, the feelers are also slightly different from that of the normal pond snail.

Nope, they are about 1cm long big but mature liao. Trapdoor snail and mystery snail must be bigger then mature. Furthermore this snail max size is about only 1.5cm, have been keeping them for a few months already, no snails that are bigger than that.
