Zebra snails

[Bob S]

Hi, I added 3 zebra snails to my 200ltr tank yesterday and they haven't moved in over 12 hours. I gave them a drip feed acclimatisation as I do my fish and then placed them in the right way up. Ammonia 0. Nitrite 0. PH 7.2 and Nitrate 10. Do I just need to give them more time?

I would give them time. The best way to find out if they are dead is literally smelling them. You will know if they did not make it if they smell terrible.

Agreed. Nerite snails are more active at night. What's your temperature?

Hi thanks for the replies. Temp is 24.8. There has been a little movement now, so at least I know they're alive
