Snails come with my plants, what species are they?

All my snails came on my plants, so I call them plant snails, wanting to know the specific species name. (there freshwater)

Could you show a pic? Usually I get ramshorn snails from the stores, but it may be different for other places.

Re: Snails come with my plants, what species are they?

Yea I looked up ramshorn snails, and those do like like a few of mine. My snails have all different shells though. One type is dome-shaped and other two are spirals. One spiral is long and looks like bugles (the chips) and other is bigger spiral like a "your getting very sleepy" psychologist kind of thing. Sorry for weird analogies those are only things popping in my head at the moment.
