Hi guys! I'm new to the site so I'm sorry if I posted at the wrong place and isn't as clear as I can be. Anyways I have a couple of questions about a couple things and I guess I'll give all the background info now so you guys know what's up. Please bear with me.
I'm currently having trouble with my snails because both of their shells have been deteriorating and after looking into it I saw that I might need to supplement the water more with calcium and/or I need to raise my pH from 7.0. I've tried giving them zucchini and they seem to love it but does that even give them enough calcium in their diet? I wanna know if theres any food that I could give them and how it would affect my water condition if I were to put in certain kinds of food. And I also wanna know what I can do to safely raise the pH. I've heard of using crushed coral and using limestones but I'm not sure how to go about that.
About the plant thing, I currently have 3 little bunches of plants from petsmart which I assume are water wisteria, green mondo grass, and another plant that looks like anubias(but isnt?). I really want to create a grassy kind of environment for all my little critters but I'm not sure how to go about that either especially because I have gravel and I'm not use if that affects anything.
Thank you for the help! Sorry again if I wasn't clear enough.
