snail ID

[Kittycat]

I was looking for malaysian trumpet snails for my planted tank, and my maid volunteered to try to find me some when she went home to the province. This is what she brought back (not MTS, apparently).

Anyone have any idea what they are? I'm keeping them in a bare tank, as I'm not sure they could be trusted with plants.

Thanks. The site led me to a search that ended up with this site:

I think my snails are there, but the site says "unknown species, Philippines" (where I'm located), hehe

thats a pretty looking snail you have there, san exactly sa pinas nakuha ng maid mo yon ? taga pinas rin ako if di mo pa napapansin
btw if your looking for MTS type snails meron ako sa tank ko nag hitchhike sa plants na nakuha ko from angel ampil (do you know him?) similar siya sa MTS na nocturnal at nagbubukal ng lupa/gravel sa gabi

kung avid planted tank person ka at di ka pa kasali sa pinoyaquatics na egroups, join ka naman
