Laboratory experiments have shown that medium-sized (30-50 mm in shell height) Pomacea sp. snails consumed the egg masses of Biomphalaria glabrata deposited either on glass or on the leaves of Salvinia, and that they also caused a high mortality rate among the newly hatched B. glabrata. When the two species of snail were kept in the same tank, the Pomacea sp. caused a reduction in the B. glabrata egg density in proportion to their relative numbers and the presence of Pomacea sp. prevented colonies of B. glabrata from becoming established. The identity of the Pomacea sp. has not yet been satisfactorily established.
实验室实验表明，中等大小（壳高30 - 50毫米）的福寿螺属蜗牛会吃掉光滑双脐螺产在玻璃或槐叶萍叶片上的卵块，并且它们还会导致新孵化出的光滑双脐螺出现高死亡率。当将这两种蜗牛养在同一个水箱中时，福寿螺属蜗牛会使光滑双脐螺的卵密度按其相对数量成比例降低，并且福寿螺属蜗牛的存在会阻止光滑双脐螺群体的形成。福寿螺属蜗牛的具体种类尚未得到令人满意的确立。
