Hi, I have three snails, and two i think are either dead or are really good at acting like dead. I think the water temp might have been a bit too cold for them, so I moved my 10 gallon aquarium downstairs with all three snails and two fish in it to stay warm. Now the two snails are in a big jar on top of my water heater.
Any ways, I know that if the shell is not completely shut for a few days and the snail doesn't move, it is most likely dead. I don't want to take them out and sniff them or see if they plop out of their shells. Is there any other way to know if they are dead?
Second, I am looking to buy more snails for my aquarium. I have two goldfish in my 10 gallon and 1 other snail. How many and what kind of snails do you think I should buy? By the way, I'm buying them today to hold off them sitting in the post office over Thanksgiving. Please help today. Thanks!
