Ahh...I found it! They're from a genus, Gyraulus, another group of ramshorns. I knew I identified these snails in AC before but totally forgot the genus although I managed to recall it started with "G". I feel senile.
Oh, that's them! *has a tear of joy* Awesome! Now I can do the best for them. Thank you so much. Lupin to the rescue again!
I've had what looks to be the exact same tiny ramshorn snails living in one of my tanks ever since I set it up, came in on some live plants donated to me. Never seen one grow to more than about 5mm across.
They gradually disappeared from the tank and took up living and breeding in my canister filter. Every time I'd clean it I'd wash out a few hundred of them. Over the last 6 months or so they've been displaced by baby Malaysian burrowing trumpet snails. Haven't seen any in the tank for ages, don't recall seeing any in the filter last time I cleaned it.
Occasionally I still see a relatively large one with a white corroded shell in one of my small tanks.
