snail ?

[raylmaier]

Ok about a week ago there was like three snails in the upper corner of my tank right where i open the lid at. Now its like all my snails are up at that corner. Its like they are trying to escape. why are they doing this? all my water para are fine. Everything else is fine.

there are a few reasons they might be doing it.. Oxygen content may be low.. temperature may be off, params not to the snails liking, if they are just sitting ther I dont think they are just surface feeding..

I have suicidal nerite snails. All other types of snails are fine, but nerite snails crawl up and out of my tank constantly....to the point that its part daily maintenance to glance around the sides of the tank, edge of the stand, and floor around the tank for any little guys that need to be thrown back in.

They are almost always fine, but its weird.

A few common snails that we have in our CUC tend to live in the regions where the water comes in and out, so in our tanks they tend to find a similar location.
