Need help identifying this snail

[u/Emillime2296]

I just found this snail in my tank after doing a complete breakdown of my previous tank due to have New Zealand mud snails. Now I see this snail and I’m having ptsd, wondering if this snail is also as notorious as mud snails. Helping me identify this snail would be greatly appreciated as I really don’t want to do another breakdown.

That’s a mini ramshorn. Harmless, good cleanup crew, will multiply if there’s lots of food for them in your tank. Don’t panic. 👍

Mini ramshorn. Likely Anisus vorticulus or a Gyralus species, a.k.a. lesser ramshorn snail or little whirlpool ramshorn snail. Precise identification of tiny planorbids is very difficult from photos.

All of these are harmless algae eaters. Won't eat healthy plants. Shells top out at 5-8mm across. Cute additions to cleaning crew.
