I recently got a zebra and a horned nerite online. The zebra never moved and was dead a few days later. The horned one didn't move for a day but has been fine since.
I then got another zebra from LFS and this seemed fine for several days but I found him upside down on the substrate. After turning him over he hasn't moved in a few days now. Checked this morning and trapdoor is there and closed.
I put the first zebra down to the stress of shipping but the second was active at LFS who have very similar water to mine and it was quite happy for a couple of days after adding it to the tank.
This morning was water change day and the horned nerite made a pretty sharp dash to the water line.
I had dosed with Tropica Specialised Ferts (which I believe contains urea) and Excel (standard dose after large water change).
Just wondering if the snails don't like the ferts, the Excel or perhaps large water changes?
