snails

["El Boy Blue" <elboyblue at hotmail_com>]

i bought a bag of gravel from my lfs that had twisty spiral shells in it.  a 
couple of months later, when i used this gravel in a forty gal setup, the 
shells, which i thought were dead, came to life.  are these are malaysian 
trumpet snails?  they seem to act like mts... i didn't know that aquatic 
snails can stay dehydrated in their shells for long periods of time... i 
don't know the source of the gravel, hopefully the snails aren't vectoring 
any diseases/parasites.  is this possible?
