Hi.
My rabbit snails aren't looking healthy. They have been sticking their heads out a bit and retracting quickly and laying around more than normal. I also just noticed that one looked like it had small white lice around its mantel. I've isolated them now but wondered if there is any treatment I could use? I'm kicking myself as I introduced some shrimp on Monday and poured the shop's water in the tank and have since learned you're meant to net them in once acclimated. Double annoying as the shop's tank had what I have now have learned was planaria so it probably wasn't great water quality. I should have known better. I tried not to pour all the shrimps water in but they didn't want to come out, before I knew it most of the bucket had gone in!
Either way, if there's a fix for my snails that would be great!!
Cheers.
