Mystery Snail has been floating and playing dead for a few days

Posted: 23 Mar 2021 02:45 PM PDT

So the only inhabitants of my tank are 12 mystery snails and 2 amano shrimp.

One of my biggest mystery snails has been floating for the past few days. I've tried to get whatever air bubble out by turning him around, I put him in a hide so he could get his bearings, but nope. I did a water change and he floated back down and started acting normally, but after another couple of days he's flow big again. No other snails are doing this.

I thought he was probably dead, so I took him out, and out of morbid curiosity gently tugged on the little plate they have on their backs. I thought it would slip out or something, but he pulled back into his shell rather definitively, and since putting him back in the tank (and apologizing profusely) he's wiggling his antennae around and has popped his face out, but is still floating.

What is going on? Also, how do you tell if a snail is really dead beyond decomposition and just a shell?

Happy to see Fred has completely recovered from his cracked shell and is very quickly growing in his new one!

Caught three bladder snails doing... this... during a water change (feat my halfbeak Fry)

my apple snail does this to another one. I caught this behaviour 2-3 times more. It looks like they are having sex is this even possible....

How do you guys get your ramshorns off of veggies?

Posted: 23 Mar 2021 08:59 PM PDT

New to snails & feeding, I thought I'd try out some cucumber, and it was a huge hit! But they couldn't finish the slice as quickly as it needed to be gone. I was just wondering what's the best way to get your ramshorns off of the veggies when you're done feeding? My nerites will zoom away if I take them out of water for a second, so that was easy, but the ramshorns are so stubborn! Do you just do a little shake shake? Pick them off? Brush them off? Or does that hurt them at all?

Cool / unique snail for 3 gallon ( would be a single snail and would have a shrimp)

Blue and white mystery snail hatchlings, free. Please delete if not allowed.

I've had a clutch of blue and white mystery snail eggs hatch and I can't even give them away it seems. I would be willing to give them out for free to anyone in this sub who can pay for shipping and explain in detail to me how to safely ship them. I'd also like a picture of your set up with proof that you have the space, a filter, and a heater. These are my grand babies so I want them to go to good, happy homes.

Edit: sorry I don't know how to attach photos to this post but the mom is yellow with yellow skin and dad is blue with black body. Both have extremely healthy shells because I take very good care of my tank and critters.

Are algae wafers ok for rabbit and mystery snails? How often should I add them in to the tank?

Posted: 23 Mar 2021 12:39 PM PDT

I just purchased some algae wafers for my snails. Just looking for some reassurance that they are the right food to give my little ones! Thank you for any info!

Deep recession/withdrawal for the second time

Posted: 23 Mar 2021 07:09 AM PDT

Hi all,

I'm assuming my snail is about to die. She is a year and a half old. This is the second time now she has receded WAY more into her shell than I even thought was possible for them (the first time was over a cm, this time was over an inch!!!), didn't smell dead, then came back out for food.

She doesn't eat as much now that she is so old, so I mainly just feed her snail cookies and calcium rather than anything fresh so it doesn't get the tank gross. She has had to be in a large net breeder box for a couple months now...her operculum/trap door is so flimsy that my cherry shrimp kept eating it so it was the only choice I had.

She does seem happy when active but I'm sure her time has approached. I really love this snail and am really sad about this. I think my nerite is finally almost there too...about 3 years old and only very recently started slowing down. She's been with me since the beginning of my fishkeeping so I'm really going to miss her.

Is there any kind of precaution I should take for the potential ammonia spike? I can't move them to another tank...

Make the crushed eggshells Take 3-5 eggshells and rinse out the raw egg and remove the membrane now put the eggshells into a pot of water and wait for it up boil once it starts boiling let them boil for 5 minutes once done boiling spread them across a pan and bake them at 250 degrees for 20 minutes once done baking break them up into smaller pieces and grind the pieces up into a powder using a mortar and pestle

  3. Make the dry mix Take a container with a lid your willing to use and pour the bag of premix in then mix it all up real good you will store your premix in this now grab a medium sized bowl and pour the crushed eggshells in then add 1 tablespoon of snello premix, 1 tablespoon of kelp meal, 1 tablespoon of spirulina, and 1 tablespoon of calcium carbonate to the bowl now grab your mortar and pestle and add 1 tablespoon of bug bites, 1 tablespoon of betta pellets, 1 tablespoon of blackworm flakes, 3 algae wafers, and 3 veggie rounds and grind them all up into a powder then pour the fish food powder into the bowl and mix it all together really well

  7. Finish up Grab a silicone mold over a tray, a spoon, and your snello mix use the spoon to cleanly and neatly distribute the snello mix across the mold now freeze it for 24 hours you will get more then one batch of snello from the snello mix once frozen solid plop the snellos out and store them in a plastic bag or container in the freezer repeat this process until you've used up all your snello mix once all your snello is done it's now ready to serve hope this was helpful to someone
