<br />
== Sexing ==<br />
:These snails are hermaphroditic.<br />
<br />
==Tank compatibility==<br />

<br />
== Diet ==<br />

<br />
==Feeding regime==<br />
:Will constantly graze.<br />
<br />
== Environment Specifics ==<br />
:Prefers fairly still but well oxygenated water. Can survive in outdoor ponds and found throughout waterways in Europe. When found in a tropical aquarium, the snail will be much more active and prolific.<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
:A fast moving snail. This snail can often come into fish tanks as a pest snail hidden away in plants and will multiply in number.<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:The juveniles are small, initially about 1 mm in diameter. Their shells may be clear and transparent for the first to two months of life depending on water conditions.<br />
<br />
:The adults have a smooth brown speckled oval shell with 3-4 whorls, the last whorl of the shell is very much expanded, so it's larger than all of the remaining spire. Has slender antennae and does not possess an operculum.<br />
