He's a fulica. I had room for one more in the tank so why not? He's named after Marvin the Paranoid Android.

WOW! Leah, he's lovely. Where d'ya get a biggie like that.
Is it a shadow or does he have that 2-tone shell colouration going on like a dimidiata?? He's cool leah, you must be really proud.
Anjie,x.

It does look like a dimidiata, it really does.
Have a look at the columella. If it is blue, or whiteish blue it is a fulica. So far, every fulica I have seen has this blue tint.
"The columella and the parietal callus are white or bluish-white with no trace of pink"
Dimidiata (well, ones I have seen) have a thin but distinct pink line round the edge of shell at the seam between shell and columella. If it has any pink, it ain't a fulica.

Its a shadow. If you look at Fenny you can see it on her to. There were under a big umbrella so that must be what caused it. I got him on e-bay. Someone called Snail-King was selling babies so I e-mailed him to see if he had any adults. He knows someone who runs a pet shop or something so he got one from there.
