    Hard to tell from pic, but could be a stomatella. Does it have a half shell in its back?

    It's very good. They don't have big shells, so they don't knock things over like other snails. They eat less, as they don't eat during the day nearly as much as other snails. Simultaneous hermaphrodite "scatter" (forgot the proper term) breeders (at least, I think. I saw one individual of mine release into the water two times, each with a different consistency) , so they kinda round out a CUC very well.
