Pomacea Canaliculata is the largest f/w snail that i'm aware of.
They eat plants and need around 5 gallons of tank space per snail.

I thought the OP was asking about the largest aquatic snail in the pet trade.
I've never seen these snails on offer and would never consider buying the eggs as you're likely to receive asolene spixi eggs instead. If you see the actual snails for sale please let me know via PM.
Many thanks.

Many thanks. I was once offered the chance to get eggs of Asolene megastoma (and some other larger species) and was sent a picture of the adults.  |
