I recently adopted a black mystery snail from Petco a few weeks ago. The first week he was okay. He moved around the tank during the night and was always in a different spot. I never once seen him moving or stick to the side of the glass. He always stayed on the bottom.
Now, these past couple of weeks he hasn't moved. I did a 50% water change the day I got him (I did the water change, then went to buy him). I did another 50% water change last Thursday because (I'm guessing) the algae wafers I was giving him (only 2) made my tank really dirty. Since then, he hasn't moved at all! I tried moving him into my beta tank for a while to see if that would help but he still never moved.
I know that he isn't dead because I smelled him and he doesn't stink. Last night, I moved him back into my 48 gallon aquarium since he wasn't making any progress in the beta tank and he still hasn't moved.
I thought the reason he might not be doing good in my big tank is because of the cichlids I have in there. But I never see them picking on him unless they do it when Im not watching.
Please help! I don't know why he doesn't move and I want to make him comfortable!
