We lost a snail this week... Maybe two. Our golden mystery snail hasn't moved in a couple of days and this morning she was hanging out of her shell. The blue snail is moving around, but not much.
Things have been fine until my nitrites spiked. But we only rose to 1 ppm. We have already decided we are not replacing anyone until we finish the cycle. Nitrates were between 5 ppm and 10 ppm before I did a water change this morning. Ammonia was .25 ppm for the first time in a week. Due to the dead snail I guess.
It is sad, we love watching our snails. Do you all think it was the nitrites? Or do I need to be watching something else?
