Does anyone know much about snail's? i got this at auburn aquariums about 2 months ago and it's spent a bit of time in different tanks. they sell them as singapore snail, but i dont know any more than that.

also this shrimp - is it a DAS? i bought some at aquaristic and the breeder box they were acclimatising in sank into the tank and i never saw them again, until the other day one got back in ;)

The foot colouration reminds me of the native snail sold by Dave at Aquagreen. Can't remember its name. However the shell seems to have a different shape.. A juvenile maybe??

I'd guess glass/ghost shrimp. Do you have an idea of where they may have come from?
