HI everyone! Hope you're doing well.
So this year me & my family are staying to the same turistic village, and yesterday on our way there we stopped to eat lunch at a restaurant by a lake. I had to go and see if were are any living things or plants in the lake. I found three giant snails that look exactly like pond snails, only bigger, one of them died and two have survived and are doing well from what I can't tell, I'm changing their water daily from a clean pond nearby. Another thing I found that I really liked, was a big freshwater clam, which I never thought I'd find here, however it looks very similiar to this one, only that it's not that dark in colour and it's more yellowish.
So I want to know if I can bring these guys home? Will they do any harm to my aquarium? If the clam likes to dig, is there any problem with putting it in my dirted tank, I mean will anything bad happen to it if it reaches the soil. The substrate of the lake that I got them from was like a muddy looking sand.
The lake is protected by law so no toxins are disposed whatsoever.
The name of the snail seems to be "Lymnaea Stagnalis" or commonly Great Pond Snail, from my research, but I couldn't find ANY feedback on google about keeping them in a home aquarium . Will they eat live plants?
Any advice would be highly appreciated, thanks!
