Thats a very strange snail, almost looks like it should be in sw, do you think you can get a side shot of it in a tank? Sorry but i know thats no mystery about whether its a mystery snail or not

I think it may be a Tadpole snail.

It does look similar but im not sure, im going to try and get some clearer pics.
 
If it is a Tadpole snail is it classed as a pest in the aquarium? I don't want 1000s of snails!

arrggghhhh...... So frustrating. My camera just wont focus!
 
Well I googled tadpole snail and they look shiny and mottle coloured. This is not shiny and it is a dark brown with creamy coloured patches.

That's the same as some of the snails I have I have 4 of tthem, they grow quite big but they help keep the tank clean and they don't breed very fast no idea what they are called, I got mine on plants too

Well it does appear to be some type of common pond snail baby which is not a hitchhiker most people want! saying that I have snails in all of my tanks of various species inc Tadpoles and I don't mind them, you will end up with more and chances are there is more than one! so if you don't want them just pick them off each time you see one

In response to the question you had about my sig, it's true, I suppose that bettas just look more like floating bits of tissue than other fish lol someone I believe on here although I can't remember who now as it was such a long time ago actually said it and I found it quite funny so I thought I would add it as my sig 

of course I love bettas and think of them as more than floating bits of tissue lol
