snail identification

[Mr. Teapot]

Just popped out at lunchtime and came across these interesting looking snails. Has anyone seen either before, or know anything about them? I think they were described as 'Tri colour snails' for the first pic and 'helmet nerite' for the second.

Hi all,
First one looks like a Sulawesi Tylomelania sp. <http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/content.php?sid=3053>. The bottom one is a limpet of some description, rather than a Nerite (based on the absence of an operculum). I know there are limpets in Lake Poso, species of Protancylus, but it isn't a snail I've ever seen and that would just be a guess.

Yeah I was looking at Sulawesi snails in a pets at home and there was a lot of shell damage such as that, I was in there about a month ago when they first got them and the shells were completely black and they looked pretty impressive. They also had at least one assassin snail in the tank. They do seem to get pretty large

Above Faunus spp, below Septaria spp, is what i would say

Looking at the google pictures, I think you're spot on Edvert - thanks.

They would look really interesting in a big tank… perhaps a really big tank of 400 gallons?
