I guess it doesn't really matter... they are what they are. I would be curious to know, though, so I can learn more about them. I find pretty much everything fascinating. I know they're common, but common ≠ boring.
If you're referring to mine, the confusion is which particular species of pond snail. Same difficulty as cellodaisy is having. Mine are about 0.75"(2cm), so they're fairly good sized snails.That is a pond snail not a bladder the antenna give it away.
The shell too but I always look at the antenna first.....I think the dextral shell gave it away long before the antenna did.
...paper, is that one taken from the wild, or did it come in as a hitchhiker?
Hitchhiker. A few months ago I dumped excess hornwort from my 75g into my dad's watergarden. All I can figure is the snails were outcompeted for food in the 75 by the ramshorns and mts (they decimated my bladder snail population), and that's why I don't have any in there....paper, is that one taken from the wild, or did it come in as a hitchhiker?
Give it up for minute details!The shell too but I always look at the antenna first.....
Could be Stagnicola elodes. I don't think it's all that common in the aquarium hobby, but it is ocassionaly marketed as a snail for ponds. It can also be found in the wild in the US.. which pretty much makes my previous question of where you got them rather pointless.Hitchhiker.
