Hi Don!
This snails came as hitchhiker in my tank (round about 10 of them). They are very tiny. The "big" one is 1,8 - 2,0 mm in size.
The shell looks like the freshwater snail Planorbarius corneus.
I know the ID ist very difficult, but do you know the Genus of this Snails?

regards
Gerrit

It's hard to say from the pics, Gerritt. It should either be a turbinid or trochid, but I can't narrow it to the genus. They are also likely juveniles, which makes it more difficult. My guess is that it is a juvenile trochid, maybe Ethalia or a closely-related genus.

Cheers,



Don
 
I've thought, that it will be very difficult. But I wanted to ask you. I let it grow, if they should still be greater.
Juvenile trochid would fit. Thank you Don.

Nope, that´s not a Collonista. This is a Collonista at backside:
