Betta Question

[vance1013]

Well, I haven't tried releasing the snail yet. Buddy was really curious until he bumped into the edges of the bag. for some reason this pet store has bags that have almost like a little extra plasticky stuff around the seam. Buddy ran into that, which gave him a lovely spook. He's slowly returning to see the snail move around. For a little while he was staring at it like it was the coolest thing ever. He couldn't look away and was following it around the bag. I'm researching them on another tab, but I might end up making a post here asking for expert advice from people who seem to have been caring for fish since they were created.

Sounds like a good idea

Just thought.I'd add my 2 cents lol. I have an adult male betta in a 10 gallon with 2 golden mystery snails. Havent had any incidents yet. They all just ignore one.another.

+1 to that same here with mine lol

Working on getting the snail out. Buddy won't get out of the way, which isn't helping. We'll see what happens.

Success! The snail is free! Now just to ask my friends what on earth do I name a snail?

That would be fitting if his feelers did not scare the living daylights out of Buddy. Poor little guy got felt in the head and hid in the cave for a good few minutes before venturing out again to explore this thing from behind. What on earth do you name a snail that scares a betta?

That would work if the betta was Jerry. Don't say I didn't warn you that Buddy is weird. I was expecting him to be curious, but not to be afraid of a snail's feelers.

Possible problem found! No idea how to solve it!
Well, I had to be the horrible mama and turn on the lamp. (I know, so cruel) He's got a whitish filmy like stuff on part of his back and a distinct white line along where his dorsal fin and body meet. What is this crap? I've never had a fish get anything like this. I had two die of some parasitic acting looking thing that goes unknown forever, but that was inside, not outside. This might explain the weird need to stay near the bottom all of a sudden, but his jumpy ways and playful running into everything I'm pretty sure is just him.

I have no idea somebody else could jump in with an answer

I got a couple threads going. Hopefully soon there is a response.
