Stomatella?

[timthetoolman]

I think this guy is a stomatella. What do you think? He has a large foot and a big probosis. I kind of wanted to pick him up to see if his foot falls off like a lizards tail but as long as he doesn't hurt anything I say live on. Other than the shell he looks like my big turbo snail.

He's on the right side of the hole facing to camera. I'll try to get better photos when I'm not so excited.

Still too close but here's another photo. His shell is about 1/4" long.

Looks like one to me.

Looks like it to me. I have a ton in my tank right now. Came as hitchikers and they are breeding like crazy.

 

[buckeyegirl]

yes, it is. I've got grey ones and black ones.

i don't think they hurt any thing

They won't hurt anything in your tank.

Does there need to be more than one to breed?

 

[skeletor121]

I'm guessing so, but not sure. I only saw one at first, but then they came out in force about a week or so later.

i have had them breed in my tank and the ones at work. great little guys and no, they dont hurt anything. as far as i know, they do need more than one to breed, i think they are broadcast spawners.
