- Croatia - in the Krka National Park. First finding of this species in Craoatia was in 2009.[9]
Habitat
This small snail lives in pools with standing water and in oxbow lakes, but these biotopes are threatened because of sedimentation and ecological succession.[10]
In the Czech Republic this species usually lives in biotopes where there are lots of Lemna trisulca.[10]
Water quality that is suitable for Anisus vorticulus is water without turbidity; with a pH from 7 to 7,5; with calcium from 40 to 400 mg/l and with electrical conductivity from 200 to 1100 mS/m.[10]
