Ok these were sold under the name mystery snail but i googled it and they dont look the same they look more like the nerite snail. It has been moving in the water and above the water level as well. Any ideas Thanks

Looks a tad like an Assassin Snail, Anentome helena. Not sure though.

Im sorry but i cant seem to find any info regarding this snail. Could you possibly provide the full scientific name? Here are photos of the other one pretty much the same pattern just a different colour. Henk i ssaw a previous post about those niriti snail from you and the life cycle you discussed is is exactly the same as the nerite are they possibly the same?
