I have some tiny whitish snails in my 5.5 gallon quarantine with my kuhli loach now. They are kinda sorta cone shaped, but not long and pointy like the Malaysian trumpet snails I've seen. But maybe they are baby Malaysian trumpet snails? They range from 1-3 millimeters long, are white on the largest end of the shell, and darker gray on the pointed end. The larger ones are slightly pointer, and the tiniest ones are rounder. I can't take a decent enough photo, but here is a simple drawing below showing their shape.

I'm hoping these are Malaysian trumpets. I've been looking for some for a while, but can't seem to find any except online! It would be perfect if these snails that I could not find just randomly came to me like this. :lol:

I see some that have gotten a little bit bigger, and I'm mostly sure they are MTS. They have really spirally shells and are getting pointier as they grow! I really don't think they are pond snails, because I've never seen white pond snails before.
