Hi Everyone

I have been sent a picture of an unknown gastropod by an aquatic retailer
here in England. He bought a new type of snail for freshwater aquariums
from a wholesaler. They were simply called 'Bat Snails'. The whole batch
died within a few days. He very much wants to find out what species they
are, as he would like to order some more, but obviously can't until he
knows what went wrong the first time.

He has posted a picture of the empty shells left after the snails' death at:

www.waysideaquatics.co.uk/batsnail.jpg

I feel they may be some type of nerite, but I can't find anything on the
Internet under 'Bat Snail'. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Anna
