What is this...?
The LFS said they were "cateye" snails, but I cannot find anything on them (even Google). They're great algae grazers, and they add a great orange color to the tank so I'd like to get more, but I want to know what they are! Also, if someone knows the scientific name; that would be awesome!
    (Also, is there another forum I should be posting this in for more info? Thanks!) |

I have Mexican Turbos also, and they don't really look alike. These orange ones are also at least half the size of the turbos. Thanks for the response, though!
