Well in actual fact these are rodatzi off Melly, who else got rodatzi off Melly because i have a Suspicion that she may have sold us fulica instead. I feel quite annoyed because they look so much like fulica, do all yours look like this too???
I'm sorry if i have got this wrong Melly but this is what happens when you don't reply!

Im fairly sure I read a post once that mentioned someones rodatzi laid eggs and some/all? of the resulting snails didnt look like rodatzi, but more like usual fulica, I cant remember who posted it though?
My rodatzi from Melly are still quite small (about 1cm) so havent really developed much colour, but are looking like they're going to be yellow.

These were from melly, but theyre only 1cm in length. Still too small.   Either way theyre doing well and are lovely  so Im not too fussed what they turn into. |
