Nope not Nerites. Looks like pond snails or mystery snails as best as I can tell from that photo. Can you get a better one? If the snails are small and tear drop shaped, they are pond snails. If they are rounder with a blunt point to the side of the body than it is a mystery snail. Here are a few photos for you to compare them too. Pond Snail .:.

I think it's possible that they could be Olive nerites, but it's difficult to say based on that picture. The reflection of the flash covers up anything we could see.. Can you get a better one?
It's a common nerite snail. At first it looked like a trapdoor snail but it doesn't have a cone shaped shell. Btw I feel really stupid. What does LFS stand for. I see people use it all the time but I have know idea what it stands for.
Oh thanks. Before I ever heard people use in aquarium forms I thought it stood for local food store. I feel really dumb now that I know what it stands for. I knew what the beginning and last letter stood for but I could not figure out the middle one.
