Water Snails??

Question for you guys. What is the name of these guys. To help out, they are in the Americas Pavilion, in the water tank between the Desert Hairy Scorpion and the Mexican Redknee Tarantula. It shares the water tank with the Sunburst Diving Beetle and Ferocious Water Bug.

Any help in the right direction would be appreciated.

they look like some species of Ramshorn Snail, but I don't know which are native to America.

A ramshorn snail would also be my guess, maybe from the genus Planorbarius, but I have no idea which species occur in America...

If it is a Ramshorn, I wouldn't be shocked if it wasn't an American species. After all, the zoo houses Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches in that same area if I'm not mistaken.
Then again, it could be the Seminole Ramshorn Planorbella duryi, a species endemic to Florida.
