Anybody have any idea what kind of snail this is? Noticed it in my 5.5 betta tank last week. I love it because I've never seen one like that before. I think it snuck in on some plants I recently bought. I know snails are slow, but this one moves very s l o w l y. I'm hoping it'll reproduce asexually so my entire tank can be full of 'em.

your soon have 100's of them unless you got any loach.
 
Is it really? Because I have mts in my tank, many in fact, but they don't look like this guy. Their shells are more spiral and thinner than the picture I posted above.

These are my mts that I have:

Mts are a lot more pointed tbh (was pulling out 200 a night at 1 point)

it may be one of a few variants of a trumpet snail tho

Ok after 6 hours sleep after x-mas party (24hr's of drining in big lights of London) last night, can i change my mind :rolleyes:

Not sure what it is but dose look like MTS but like u say more compressed, i can only put the guess down to my poor vision!!!

Quite alright, I tried to zoom in on the pictures for a closer view. Also, I just checked it and yes, it does have an operculum.
