I'm sure this is an easy one for most.
I picked up my first critters last weekend and I cannot for the life of me remember what kind of snails these are.
I got 4... 3 are smaller and are all the same and 1 is a pretty big sucker.
Are they all the same type of snails? What kind are they?

Thanks!

Thank you! Margarita is what he said! Still can't remember what he called the big one.. thanks for your help. Are these good cleaner snails? Or should I be getting different kinds?

Turbos are the beasts of the cleaner world...if you dont mind the knocking frags off of rocks ;)

My tank was running at 80ish and I didn't see much action from them. I have set the temp back a bit to about 77.5 and they seem to be doing better. That big sucker only roams at night for some reason. I haven't had an algae bloom yet and I'm worried they are going to stave. :(

Is there a different snail I should be getting that would be better in warmer temps?
