Default Looking for Information on Physella Acuta

About a month ago, I got some Malaysian Trumpet Snails for free from the petstore, and when I returned this morning to buy a few ghost shrimp, I noticed a different species of snail in their tanks, and got a few of them for free. After some research, I'm pretty certain they're Physella acuta (AKA, European physa), but I haven't had much luck finding a comprehensive source of information on them. Anybody out there know where I can look?

Thanks for the article! It answered most of my questions, which mainly concerned Physella's reproduction. A lot of the stuff I found when I searched Google was just general.
