They are not the usual tiger snails (a Neritina species) but google tells me that Clithon snails are sometimes called zebra snails. These small black and yellow striped snails are more usually called bumblebee snails. They behave similar to the larger nerite snails - they eat algae, lay a lot of eggs in there's a male and female, but the eggs don't hatch in fresh water.
Clithon corona usually have horns or spikes but i had one for years which didn't have horns. Google images of Clithon snails and see if they match your snails.
