Yesterday I collected those snails and clam from a river coming from Pueblo Resvior (sp? I'll never be able to spell that word!)
I would like to know what they are called. Some help would be appreciated! :fairy:

here's a try

I'm not an expert, but your "Spiral Snail" looks like a common pond snail while the other one looks almost exactly like my mystery snail (a type of apple snails, see applesnail.net for details)

Good luck!
 
The snail doesn't look anything like an apple snail.
Any ideas? Any sites that are deciated to snails so I can look up the pics and species?
The clam I have seem to be doing good, it keeps burrowing down the gravel and then I would see the rocks moving around when the clam moves. :cool:
 
The clam seems to be a fingernail clam. Which is common were got it. My book doesn't tell specifics about it's breeding/feeding habits, but I'm sure we can ask Dr. H about that. Heck, it might be in my notes from his class.
 
I have no clue as to the first snail or the clam, but I recognize the last snail.

It's a type of common freshwater ramshorn snail. Sometimes they can be found in freshwater plant tanks at petsmarts and petco's. I liked raising those to feed to my dwarf puffers when I had them.


HTH

Oh, btw, it's "r-e-s-e-r-v-o-i-r" just for future reference ;) . (Lila made me do it!! lol j/k)
