Warren Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Yip, but man that's a big one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 What ever happened to those beatiful red ones we had years ago. I remember them from my childhood days in our first aquarium with the goldfish and valiseneria, in a steel framed tank. They would easily grow to 25mm across.

Caryl Posted November 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Do you mean the red body bit or a red shell? The pic doesn't show what a nice bright red it actually is. There are lots of them in a guy's pond in Kaikoura and he had been told they were native. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HummingBird Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 If you ever get them to breed Netman (the bright red ones), I'd be interested in buying a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
