Do my zebra snails tango?

[FishKeepingNoob]

I looked in the tank this morning and my 2 zebra snails are on each other. I can't tell what is going on. I don't know how they mate(if they even do). Or is one of them eating the other? Here is quite possibly the worst picture I've ever uploaded to photobucket....

The guy on the left seems to be the one in control.

Copulation. These are apple snails.

When I read your thread title, I had an initial impression by "zebra snails", you meant nerite snails. There are many snails that share that name. Common names are worthless for specific identification involving snails.

I bought "zebra snails". When I came home and looked them up, I found Nerite snails which is what I thought they were. I thought only zebras were nerites so I that's why I'm confused. I'll research apple snails a bit when I get a chance.
