I was able to get my hands on a few of these snails. They are very interesting and the orange color looks great. They are part of the Tylomelania sp. snails from Sulawesi.
I've seen such incredible variation in the flesh of Tylomelania snails, yet their shells are generally so drab. Still, very interesting snails. Are these as large as the others?
I have been wanting to get some of the sulawesi snails for my ada mini-s, but I remember hearing that the sulawesi snails cannot live long in soft, acidic environments. Is this the same for these guys? Can you post the tank conditions?
I am wondering if they burrow too. I am getting a snail collection as well... I hated snails, then I added some trumpets, discovered I had a lovely ramshorn, got a nerite, got some apples... locates more rams... hmmmm I want more apples.
