Snail Identification

leongreenway · 05-07-2005, 09:56 AM

Can anyone recommend a snail identification site please, I have one in my tank (probably more), it doesnt appear to be a malasian, Apple, or common Pond snail.

Cheers

Leon

Couldn't find any snail identification sites when I searched on google, but http://www.azgardens.com/snails.php sells five different kinds of snails... You might be able to identify your snail there.

Do you happen to have a picture of your snail?

chrisinha, thanks found it

sumpthinfishy · 05-08-2005, 08:13 AM

So what kind is it? Don't leave us hanging!

Well,

its a Physa spec. He's quite cool, I was thinking of getting rid of him. Not now, he's not harmful and he seems to be the only one.

Here's a picture from Applesanil.net

i live in Pa and found these small pond snails in the lake in the front of my developement. They look cool and i want to quarentine 1 or 2 and see if i can breed themt as puffer food anyone know what this snail is? i'll get a picture as soon as possible

If it is a pond snail, breeding shouldn't be a problem. Quarantine is a really good idea. Also, be careful if you move plants from one tank to another as that is one of the ways the commonly get into another tank and take over.

Check the site mentioned above. www.applesnail.net. That should help you identify it. Prolly is a common pond snail, though.
