Freshwater snails - diocrisseashells1000 - 12-06-2011 Hello collectors, This are all freshwater snails, can you please determine their specie names ? <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/63645283@N06/sets/72157628302516429/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/63645283@N ... 302516429/</a><!-- m --> From Philippines. thanks, Diocris Re: Freshwater snails - poseidon - 12-07-2011 looks to be pomacea canaliculata.introduced from south america to south east  asia including philippines as a local food resource. Re: Freshwater snails - wolfi - 12-07-2011 Hi, number 2 and #3 should be Viviparidae, might be genus Filopaludina, wide spread in south east asia. I know some species of this genus from Thailand and Indonesia, but not from the Philippines, I'm sorry. Kind regards: wolf Re: Freshwater snails - diocrisseashells1000 - 12-07-2011 Many thanks for the id, I thought #2 & 3 are different specie cause the other one is color white with a black line on the mouth and they are collected in different location. I dont know what you mean not found in the Philippine, cause you can find it in many island here, most specially in the Visayan region, the white colored one, i collect it personally in the area of Luzon  . Anyway many thanks again for your great help, and to poseidon too  Happy shelling. Re: Freshwater snails - wolfi - 12-07-2011 Oh, sorry: #2 and #3 should be different species, true enough. I only mentioned the genus. There surely are species of the family Viviparidae, genus Filopaludina in the Philippines, but I don't know which species (I'm only familiar with the species of this genus in Thailand and Indonesia). That's what I meant. Sorry for being misunderstandable....... . Kind regards: wolf Re: Freshwater snails - diocrisseashells1000 - 01-17-2012 Thanks Wolf for your help and input. Pardon me for late reply i was out of town this past month. Diocris.
