Nerite snail question

[heatherhribal]

Is it normal for my snails to climb up the glass and above the water level? So their bodies are out of the water. I just found 2 of them above the water level. They are new to my tank yesterday. Tested water today. Ammo 0.25 nitrite 0 nitrate 5. Did 40% pwc. Temp 78. Will they suffocate? Or is this normal? Thank you!

No it normal usually I catch my nyrite snail above the water level when I do my water changes haha don't worry they will be fine

Mine do the same thing.

On another topic, if you are getting any ammonia reading your tank might not be cycled..

They're fine out of the water for short periods of time since they are tidal snails. But they might be out of the water because of the ammonia.
