Ok I use to keep mysteries a long time ago. Now in the last year I have added many to the tank only for them to die a month later. I have nerites that do fine! Anyone else notice this? Im wondering if there is something wrong with the breeding. No other fish die etc.
 
Are you supplying them with a source of calcium? Without a proper source they can develop holes in their shells or weak, thin spots which can be fatal. Especially with mysteries as they grow fast and quite large. I keep cuttlefish bone in my tanks with snails after learning the hard way...
 
Their shells are fine. I have hard water 7.8 ph. I have never changed anything. My temps have been the same for 10 years. 78 degrees.
