so i was just looking into my now fishless 10 gallon, and noted that one of my snails had a trail of white stringy stool... i know that this is a sign of internal bacterial infection or parasites in fish but is it the same in snails? also can the parasite hop from species to species or will it...

so i have a spare aquaclear 70 and ive decided to convert it to a fuge for my ten gallon.. i plan on replacing my current hob aquaclear filter with it completely. ive modded the ac 70 fuge to have a filterpad to polish off the water... my question is, would it be beneficial to keep the original...
