Question Snail idenitfication

Hi, can anyone help me to identify this snail... is it a bubble bee snail or some other species?
It seems to be quite hardworking cleaning away the invisible algaes on my tank glass

Brought from C328 at $1.

they have been living close to 6months already, seems fine and is growing in size too.

Polyart sells cheaper than 1 buck ?

horn snails dont breed in normal aquarium condition because the larva needs brackist water to grow. But the snails will lay ugly eggs around your tank & rocks
