Mine don't usually seem to last but I did have a few which got to ~1 inch and bigger around than a pencil. My pH stays pretty low 6.4-7.4 usually and so does my KH so I don't seem to think pond snails prefer that condition and they don't seem to get very large. Though I know some fish will enjoy them as snacks - maybe why they don't mostly end up big.

I've had an occasional one get about dime sized. Snails don't do well in my tank.

I've had a few that size in my outdoor pools. Several were too large to be cracked by a 5" crayfish despit his best efforts.
