i believe they are the same ones i have. and that wouldn't be pond
snails. they are sinistral ie. left-coiled snails. aka. physa from
what i've read, all other snails are dextral (right-coiled).

here's some links that will help you tell if it _is_ physa.

they are quite pretty but very small and are generally appreciated only
by those that stare at their tank _really_ close.

but, they are also quite prolific. I _just_ finished cleaning my corner
filter (carbon and floss deal) and found that a couple had nested in
there and were trapped. I've freed them into the tank. I'm not worried
they'll run amok. my yo-yo loaches are _more_ than a match for these
creatures.
