Military Helmet Snail
Neritina pulligera
Neritina pulligera, also known as dusky nerite, black racer, black helmet snail, or steel helmet snail, is a species of freshwater snail of the family Neritidae. Its shell is olive-green to black, typically 20–26 mm (0.79–1.0 in) long, and covers almost the snail's entire body. N. pulligera has an operculum, a "trapdoor" used by the snail to close its shell. Females have a specialised organ which stores solid material used to produce a hardened egg capsule. N. pulligera was first described in 1767 by Carl Linnaeus and is the type species of the genus Neritina.

Piano Snail
Taia naticoides
Viviparidae, commonly called river snails, are a family of freshwater snails with gills and a protective lid (operculum). Their family tree is complex, and genetic evidence suggesting some species in this family don't fit neatly into traditional groups. These snails are native lakes and rivers across Europe, Asia, and parts of North America. Some, like Cipangopaludina japonica, have become invasive thanks to their ability to adapt.

Pea Puffer
Carinotetraodon travancoricus
The dwarf pufferfish, also known as the Malabar pufferfish, pygmy pufferfish, or pea pufferfish, is a small freshwater pufferfish endemic to Kerala and southern Karnataka in Southwest India. They are popular in aquaria for their bright colours and small size. At a maximum total length of 3.5 cm, dwarf pufferfish are one of the smallest pufferfish in the world. They closely resemble the related Carinotetraodon imitator, and the two can be difficult to distinguish. C. imitator was not recognised as a different species until 1999.
