I was too sickened yesterday to write about it right away, but I found my already ill goldfish on the bottom of the QT, still breathing, with his fins covered in snails! I rescued him, put him in a breeder box, disposed of excess snails in the QT. His fins look like he's had an advanced case of fin rot. I've stepped up the treatment for his apparent dropsey, we shall see how he does in the comming days. I've just never heard of snails acting this way.
The last two unexpected deaths (filtration method failure) were discovered by the large cluster of snails on the fish, but I thought they were simply consuming an already dead fish, it is possible that they contributed to the demise of these fish?
Anyone heard of this happening before?
