Female Viviparus malleatus.

Males have one labial tentacle shorter and curlier compared to the females. Here's a pic by Iris (flaringshutter). Please note these are coldwater species so do not keep them in temperature soaring above 74 degrees Fahrenheit. They don't take well to it even refusing to show up at all.
