Mystery snails shell cracked

Happy to be of assistance. I'm very fond of my snails.. they are like living jewels with their colours, crawling all over the tank walls.

I love watching them move around the tank! Especially when then end up on something you didn't think they could be on lol

Just a warning. I did not use to have a prefilter on my uptake tubes. I found a snail one day, poor thing had it's foot caught in between the bars that cover the end of the tube, to stop most fish from being sucked up. It had drowned, as it could not get the foot free.

So be aware, they can get into trouble. I now keep a big sponge prefilter on my intake tubes, and no more drowned snails.

Thank you! I have heard of this happening, I will be putting a sponge on my filter to prevent this.

My snails are doing much better, despite the fact I haven't gotten around to making the repairs yet.

Good to hear.
