turbo snail

[wigo]

I just bought 2 chestnut? turbo snails. Is this the same as a mexican turbo snail?

The real question is can they overturn themselves or do I have to do it for them?

Well since no one answered. I looked it up on another site and found this.

These inverts are great for an aquarium of any size. Because they are part of the "clean-up crew", they will go over every inch of your aquarium! While they are fun to watch, be sure to watch them closely. If they were to fall off the glass, rocks, or are bumped during cleaning and are found upside down, be sure to right them immediately. They cannot "right" themselves and they will die of a slow death - over a few hours.

So that is my answer. nope.

Chestnut Turban snails

The Chestnut Turbans are NOT the same as Mexican turbos. Mexican Turbos are found around Mexico, where these Chestnut Turbans are found around the Florida Keys. The Chestnut turbans also DO right themselves and do NOT get as large as the Mexican Turbos. The Chestnut turbans get as large as a marble.
Hope that helps.
