Unidentified Trapdoor Snails

 Hello everyone. Welcome again to another post.

Recently, I got some Viviparidae species assumed to be Filopaludina sumatrensis.

Viviparidae sp.

I got about 15 specimens, and they did look like some sort of Filopaludina.

I then noticed their underside, which looked nothing like a Filopaludina at all


Viviparidae sp.

They are some type of Viviparidae, but they're probably undescribed.

Here's a view of their shell



They're absolutely gorgeous though, and I think my snails are going through something called "stress birthing"

This isn't really a good sign because it's an indicator of stress, but from what I've seen they should be adapting quicker hopefully because this comes from moving into a new environment.

But the good side is there are babies as a result from this.

Here are some pictures 




And that's pretty much all I got to say for the Viviparidae. But together with these, I also got some more interesting freshwater snails.



Pomacea canaliculata 


Planorbis cf. corneus 

And that's pretty much it, thanks for reading 🙏
