| Georgia Hobbyist Posts: 137 Kudos: 108 Votes: 3 Registered: 18-Feb-2005 | The freshwater limpets in my aquariums are very small (~2mm) and almost clear. Do a google search for "freshwater limpet" to see some pictures. There are also some on www.applesnail.net They are a species of snail, so they do reproduce like snails  But, they don't lay eggs from what I've seen, so they may be vivaparus. When overfed, they can overpopulate a tank. But, I rarely see more than a few at any one time. They don't harm plants or fish. |
