Hi - I’m wondering if anyone can offer some suggestions about what to do with my Nerite Snails.
About three weeks ago I bought 10 freshwater nerite snails which I put in three different tanks.
Since then I’ve had four of them die. One crawled out of the tank and was found on the floor the following morning. The other three were just found unresponsive in their respective tanks.
The rest of them seem to spend all their time at or above the waterline pretty much not moving all day. A couple of times I’ve found them making a break for it out of the tank.
I already had other Nerite snails in two of my tanks and they are behaving normally. It’s just the new snails that have been acting weird and dying.
I’m really confused and obviously worried for the rest of the livestock in my tanks.
If anyone can offer any insights I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks!
