Tylomelania sp. mini yellow is the smallest imported Tylomelania. The shell is dark brown to almost black while the animal itself is bright yellow. Both sexes reach about 3 to 4 cm and live around four years.
It comes from Lake Poso on Sulawesi and is constantly on the lookout for food. Its small size makes it suitable for nano tanks as well.
