Hi all,
 
Well, I noticed in my shrimp tank this little fella on the glass. I have malaysian trumpets in there already but no others snails... until now. I have only noticed the one but I am guessing there's likely to be more?
 
I've done a bit of google imaging and think its a Ramshorn snail. My question is.. is this actually a baby Ramshorn snail, or another species?

It looks like a ramshorn to me.
 
Looks like a baby ramshorn snail.
They take forever to grow.
I have them in all of my tanks,
Hopefully one day I have one big enough to sell! :p
 
Holy cow!  You guys must have super vision, cuz all I see is a brown dot.  lol 
 
Haha thanks guys, your help is appreciated. He must have hitched a ride on the live plants I bought! No doubt there will be several though!
 
They are pretty harmless.  They are not like pond snails (aka 'pest' snails).  
 
I have about three of these in my tank, I always thought that they were apple snails. They do look exactly the same tho
