Snail Ident please.

[prolude006]

I have this one snail that is about 4 times the size of all the other snails in my tank. All I have are mts and ramshorn that I can tell. There are only one of these guys unlike the millions of the other two. Here are some pics, best I could get.

I have a small population of the exact same snails. The biggest one is larger than a penny. It doesn't eat plants or anything, though it seems attracted to algae. Not sure if it eats algae, but it's always hanging out around it. I'll watch this thread in hopes we find an ID

It is really pretty. But I have no idea. Ask msjinkzd

 

[msjinkzd]

Its on of the pond snail species, lymnae maybe? I can't tell for sure.

 

[prolude006]

I will try to find out elsewhere...but if jinkz doesn't know then I am not sure how successful I will be.

 

[msjinkzd]

ask arakkis or vampie, they are better with snail id then I am

Those look like my pond snails... I've got one that's pretty big but it's still under penny size. just guessing

 

[prolude006]

Good idea Ill see if he checks this.

I have one that size too that came in with some plants mums bf came home with, it does look like one of the larger pond snail species i too thought the same as msj. saw them on a website i was looking at some time ago.
