Kevin, the large one is imo no way a purpurea, it´s a albinotic shelled ventricosa. With the small ones it´s not to tell yet, as those too could be small ventricosa.

You just need to put a ventricosa and this large albino snail together and then you should see if they are the same species or not. I don´t know (as I miss the right word here) how to explain. But the last whorl of this larger snail looks as "wide" as those of the ventricosa´s. My purpurea´s don´t have this wide last whorl.

theyre all settling into theyre new tank at the moment, and warming up, I'll have a good check of them all later, even the largest snail is only around 8cm or so, do you have any pics to compare the last whorls of your ventricosa and purpurea?
