Stella Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 wow, neat photos! There is a beautiful native one, Melanopsis trifasciata (meaning: brown, three-stripes!). It is... brown...with three stripes around it. Quite smooth, short cone, white mantle, thick shell,thin operculm, 3cm long. Lives in estuarine areas. Is ok in all salinities and seems to do ok in tropical tanks but quite sensitive to cyanobacteria toxins. They are definitely in Lake Onoke (Wairarapa) and Raglan. I would love to know of any other places they are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesarz Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Me thinks french cuisine Yep, I used to eat them back home, very nice. The golden apple snails are tasteless compared to these! Nick, I know of fishkeepers back home (Philippines) who breed these snails, if you breed this one on sella (see the stripes) with the one they call mystery snails in the LFS, you can get different coloured snails from cream to blue and some with clear stripes! So you can have your BLUE snails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
