Mystery Snail Questions

Posted: 28 Sep 2019 09:22 PM PDT

I recently became a new mother of 7 mystery snails. I have so many questions!

  1. Can I get other types of snails with my mystery snails or does it have to be the same type?

  2. What should I feed them? I've been feeding them the bottom feeder fish pellets but I've seen people feeding fresh veggies and other stuff and would like to start doing that instead. I plan on making snail jello but what else do you snail parents feed them? Any recommendations?

  3. I have a few plants in my tank but I want to get the best ones for my snails and not just plants to fill the tank. What types can you recommend?

  4. Where is the best, safest place online to buy snails and shrimp? I want to get some really cool colors and want to make sure they ship safely.

  5. I recently tried to do my first weekly tank cleaning and it went so bad. I couldn't get my gravel vacuum to work I ended up sucking so much water out because the vacuum just wasn't getting out the poop and gunk and stuff then a bunch of the plants started coming out of the gravel(I ended up completely taking out a whole group of plants) it was just not a good time. Any tips? Cause honestly I never want to do it again at this point unless I can find a better system even though I know I have to lol

  6. Some of their shells look like there is very small cracks or something. I saw somewhere that I can give them calcium to help build their shells but where can I get it? I want my snail babies healthy!

Sorry about all the questions but I'm new at this and I feel like if I google these the wrong stuff will come up and I would like to get answers from long time snail owners or people who know a lot about them so I can make sure I'm getting the right info.

I have 2 new mystery babies and they seem extremely sluggish.. I got them a week ago and they were very active for the first 2 days, but now they are the complete opposite.. When I touch them they go back in, but slowly (even for a snail) Perameters and details in comments.

Why do my bettas only attack my blue mystery snail?

Posted: 28 Sep 2019 04:19 PM PDT

So recently my sister and I got two mystery snails to put in our ten gallon with a male betta fish. One was blue and the other was black. While the male betta fish completely ignored the black mystery snail, he immediately attacked the blue one. He did so multiple times and even took off a part of something (could've been shell I'm not sure) and continued to try to eat him.

We tried to move him in with our female betta in a 5.5 gallon tank but she attacked him too, although, to a lesser extent.

Does anyone have any idea as to why they would attack the blue mystery snail and not the black one?

Mistook orange rabbit snails for malaysian trumpet snails

Posted: 28 Sep 2019 07:19 AM PDT

Hey guys, as per the title, I accidentally bought 4 orange rabbit snails instead of malaysian trumpet snails. I only realised when they arrived, and I also read that they prefer warmer water with higher pH. The tank that I was going to keep them in is a cold water low pH tank for crystal shrimp. I keep the water at 22 degrees celcius, would this type of environment be very bad for these snails? I'm not sure what to do with them.
