I have gotten 4 different snails since I got started with fish keeping as a hobby. No matter what tank, with what fish. They always end up dying. Any ideas why?
Mystery snails will "sleep" alot... ESP if they are full from eating. They are kinda lazy. Are you sure they were dead?
Yeah, my friend did that too.i totally agree with kelly. my mystery snails would stay in the same place for a day or two. the best way to tell if a snail is dead is to pick it up and if it's dead the insides will come out of the shell since the muscle will no longer hold it in after death. that's the only way i know to tell. before i found out i'm sure i threw a few out that were just "sleeping"
