ovum has an orange columella, and usually has a more rounded shell, ovum gets to 18-20cm shell length, suturalis has a pink/red columella, usually has a reddish apex, a more elongated shell, and only gets to around 10-12cm, theres also geographical differences, ovum are from Southern Nigeria, whille suturalis are from most parts of West Africa, and Sao Tome and Principe.

Wow thank you very much for that. Can you keep them both together? yeah you can keep them together, they need the same conditions, they will crossbreed though, so if you want to breed them its best to keep them seperatly. |

You can always freeze the eggs  Columbia's a cross, and she's pretending she didn't hear that... |
