Dniester River Snails: any ids?

[vitaly]

I went out to try collecting some fish on Dniester (Yes, I live in Transnitria now). But i only caught one sand/monkey goby and a bunch of these snails

The larger ones look like Viviparus. Not sure about the little guys.

The first picture is of the Banded Mystery Snail (similar to the Chinese Mystery Snail only a bit smaller) Nathan is correct.

The second picture looks almost like Black Devil Snails but it's hard to tell for sure.

These look kind of like but not quite like mud snails I imagine they would be similar to pond snails as far as care goes

are black devil snails similar to MTS?

In your picture because the snails were darkened due to being wet, I probably gave a wrong ID. (Plus for some reason I associated the river to a COMPLETELY different region) lol

Upon reviewing some scientific reports, they're probably one of the many melanopsids present in that European region. They're sub-tropical snails like the JMS I ID'd earlier.

I have no other knowledge of the region, but I'm sure if the snails were thriving in that region, just take some tests/samples of their environment (pH, GH, KH, etc...) Take note of the substrate as well.

Most wild caught snails when placed in captivity thrive and grow fast but due to not going through an aestivation period like they would in the wild, they "burn out" and die sooner.
