Baby snail in brackish tank - sw or fw ???

[iloveengl]

I've spent two hours looking at a thousand different snail shell pictures on this site: http://www.seashell-collector.com/be.../family_id.htm

But I still don't know what he is or if he's FW or SW!

He's literally the size of a grain of rice, so there's no way I can get a picture.
His shell is smooth, kinda oval, and he has two spirals out the back (almost can't tell they're there (um, kinda like the opposite of MTS and not off the side like a mystery snail). He's a really pretty brown with gold speckles all over him.

His shell looks like the red/blue one in the middle... that shape, but way different colors, and not such a pronounced lip along the bottom of the shell. http://www.seashell-collector.com/be...GINELLIDAE.jpg


Please help! I don't want him to die. He's really cute and pretty, but I don't know whether to put him in FW, SW, or BW. I don't even know where he came from.

Good morning Ilovee. I can't identify the snail but hopefully one of our other members can. Maybe you can share some photos once it gets a bit bigger.

Thanks Ken. I know I'm probably way too concerned over one tiny snail, but a life is a life, and I don't want to kill him.

Update: I found an even tinier snail crawling up the glass today. *sighs* My husband told me to stop flippin' out and if they survive then they survive. I hope they do. It would be great to have some unexpected sand stir-ers ... I've just not heard of a brackish snail.
