Hi guys, I haven't posted in a while - hope everyone is well! Anyway, I have about 25 snails that I've been growing in a ten gallon aquarium. About 10 days ago I added 8 of the largest snails to my large 40 gallon aquarium. I made sure to put them in a bag and float them in the water so there wouldn't be a harsh temperature change. However, once I added them to the tank, they were all dead within 24 hours.
What did I do wrong?
I notice there is about a six to eight degree temperature difference between the snail tank (room temperature) and my bigger aquarium (heated to about 79-80 degrees). I'm wondering if I should gradually begin heating the snail tank, so that the transfer isn't a shock to the snails' systems.
What do you think I should do? Thanks in advance for any replies
