    Looks like just one of the varieties of pond snails. If you don't want them to overpopulate in your tank, try to keep removing as many of them that you spot when possible.

    Specifically Amerianna carinata, a member of the same family as the ramshorn snails that often find their way into aquariums. It's an introduced species here in Singapore; its native range is Australia, New Guinea, and parts of eastern Indonesia.
    Small is beautiful.
