Caryl Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I have a lot of pond snails and I am wondering which species they are. I know they are of the Lymnaea family and thought they were Lymnaea stagnalis but these appear to be found in the northern hemisphere and grow up to 7cm. Mine don't get that big, 3cm would be the largest I think. Anyone know? :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 That's what I thought but they don't seem to be big enough. Perhaps they just don't grow so large in NZ :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
