One of my mystery snails got out of the tank. I think he/she/it was missing for about two days. I and boyfriend finally found it. He said it smelled bad so I'm pretty sure the snail is dead. This is what I'm dumbfounded about though. I know they will leave water if the conditions are bad. I tested the tank and the water looks great. Nitrates are actually down to 10 when they were coming out around 20-40. I thought maybe it went out because I wasn't feeding them enough but I had spinach in the tank for a couple of days and algae wafers that wasn't touched. Only other thing I can think of is the snail was a female and looking for a place to lay her eggs but we didn't see any clusters.
Will they just leave the tank for the heck of it or is there anything I am missing here?
