I had a blue mystery snail for about a year and a half. She passed yesterday. She was a joy and always made me smile with her little tentacles, or when she’d parachute down from the top of the tank and bonk my goldfish in the face. Hope she’s eating broccoli in the snail afterlife :)
My son has been obsessed with snails ever since our trip to Maine last year. We finally got some mystery snails for our tank. He didn't want any fish, just snails.
I'm new to mystery snails.. and Lav I have to say this is probably the best and most informative beginners guide I've ever watched!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and introducing me properly to these beautiful snails! Have a very blessed day my friend! ❤️🐌❤️🌿🐟🌿💚
Thank you so much for your kind words Mary Paige! They really are truly fascinating creatures and I love them so so much! Thanks for all your support and I hope you become as addicted to these magical creatures as I am ! All my very best to you my friend, thank you 💜
Great video! Best part was the line where the rules could be bent, where then you "can duplicate, triplicate, quadruplicate, quintuplicate.... until you're the mother of snails! " So many great lines!
I’ve been watching your channel ever since I got mystery snails. Im convinced you’re one of the only people who experiences and understands the love and fascination for them that I do. I wish there was more research on them. They truly are a mystery.
As others have noted, this is the most complete Mystery Snail care guide on YT. I hope you keep other types of freshwater snails and can do similar guides for them. Regardless, you earned my sub with one video and I'll be watching more.
My mystery snails just hatched about a week ago. The aquarium place said that they would not reproduce but here they are! Lol.. almost all of them have lived so far it's been a week.
THANK YOU for this comprehensive guide. I bought the snails to clean up algae then fell in love with them. Only to watch this and realize I was doing EVERYTHING wrong! I gave my snails broccoli, boiled egg yolk, and an egg shell immediately after watching your video. Now onto making snello and raising the pH of the tank!
I am so glad I found you! I've just raised my first mystery snail clutch, they are now pea-sized. Your channel is so helpful and informative! Thank you!!!
Hello my Snaily Friend! I rly want a few(5) Albino Purple Shell Mystery Snails... but i heard sum people saying mystery snails destroy aquarium carpets! is this true? or is it because they are not being fed enough that they just destroy aquarium carpets?
You are a godsend. By far the best snail videos on UA-cam. I look forward to seeing you in the future and hope my snails can stay as happy and healthy as yours
Well i apparently bought a already pregnant one from the store and this morning i woke up with snail eggs in the aquarium i thought the snail dried up because there were so many!
You give me Drew Barrymore vibes. I have a (what I think is) male golden mystery snail mounting another of my Jade mystery snails for the past week for at least 4 hours at a time. No clutch yet. Should I move the Jade snail? I don’t want the jade snail (female?) stressed, but I’ve also read they can do this for a week at a time. Any advice?
I just found my mystery snail a foot away from the shell :( I didn't know it was the snail at first. I had to put two and two together. It looks like a cloudy ball of vomit. I've been searching and searching for what could have happened. I don't know if it's decay or if the fish have been picking at it. I had it in a 5 gallon with 3 neon tetras and it was doing so good. Always moving and the fish never bothered it. I am SO SO SAD. I just want to know what happened.
Definitely the most beginner friendly snail video I’ve watched as someone who just got mystery snails today! Thank you so much this was extremely helpful!
Got a few 2inches mysteries on my local pond last week. Put them in my 50G pond with my shrimps & mollies. Love the way they 'inflate' themselves. They'll go near to the surface, got their long trunk out to the tip of the surface & in a couple of seconds they're floating.. drifting till they reach to my salvinia & gobbled 2 leaves.. 😅
I seen my snails super long trunk breathing like a snorkel yesterday and it tripped me out. It exhaled a breath and then cannonballed off the glass down to the substrate.... It's a very interesting, unfamiliar creature.... I just noticed that it likes to eat my sinking loach pellets and Ive seen it eating some blanched kale that I offered. Interesting little bugger, I hope it's copacetic in my tank. The snail didnt move for the first few days when I put it in, but it cruises around and rather quickly too these days. Do these guys like friends?
Ah yes, Parasnailing is so much fun to see! I believe they DO like friends. They seem to act a bit more lively with a buddy and i personally think they enjoy having a snail friend with them. I have actually heard numerous accounts, and have personally seen it as well, of Mysteries finding "soulmates" in fellow snails. Virtually inseparable! Every time i have witnessed a bonding between two snails they almost always leave this world around the same time. From a broken heart it always seems. which tugs at my heart so much! But yes, in my opinion they do really enjoy the company of other mysteries.
I am Brazilian and I was very pleased to know that they are native from Brazil, since we have such a very restricted regulation about which kind of animals we can keep here as pets. Also I was super happy about the different colour options they have, because I just knew the golden one I was planning on putting them with my axolotls and know I am setting an aquarium just for them, so I started reading and searching about them as a crazy person and I am super happy know that I have bought quite a few, haha. I loved your videos and I have already subscribed to see and get to know more about them with you! It's just a pitty that their lives are so short and that we seem to don't have any black and albino variation here in the Brazilian marked :(
My goal is to be the ultimate mother of snails. They’ve given me a purpose in life again very thankful your video is amazing by the way, narrow, divergent, friendly.
My adult mystery snails passed away on me awhile ago now! But God gifted me A tank with gravel with baby mystery snails in it! I found 4 of them in there! They are growing beautifully! I couldn't be happier with them!
I love my light yellow MSs, so cute when they are reaching far with their tenticles. I just hatched out part of a clutch of snails. I dont want a bunch of them, so I cut most of the eggs off, left about 12, and I can see 5 on the glass, no telling how many in the rocks. So tiny, and I cant wait for them to grow up.
Sorry to be a pest Lav but really don't know where else to go. Looked for snail pellets, but it was a no go. I did find an Omega One brand of something called shrimp pellets. Would this be good for my snails. Thank you so much.
Parasnailing?!? hilarious and so accurate! I watch mine climb up the tank wall and push off, floating all the way down with their foot as their sail. Love it. Great video!
Hi, I'm wondering if my snail lays eggs...how would I move them safely to another tank or should I wait until they're out and moving around to transfer them???
I just started a 20 gallon community tank and I had to have a golden mystery snail. I doubted it'd be as fun as watching the fish swim around but the first thing I do every time I look at it is find the mystery snail lol I too wish they lived longer ☹️
question : i have a hard water with ph 7.4 to 7.6, temprature is 26 to 30c all the time ( hot weather outside its 40c+ ) ... will they be able to thrive ? i have some ramshorn snails currently
That is "on average." I have heard many fellow snaily people state that their snail made it to 2y, and I personally have one right now that is almost 3. It CAN happen that they live longer, but yes, sadly, one year is the average. 🐌💜
I use a mix of small pebbles 15 pound bag and Aragonite sand 15 pound bag and my ph stays perfect. People having issues always comes down to the water quality. It doesn't matter what aquatic animals you have YOU NEED TO DO WATER CHANGE AND KEEP UP THE FILTER. I personally take out my snails and put them in a "Feeding Tank " 1 time a week for an all you can eat buffet. Biscuits me a chance to not only inspect them it also gives me a chance to really put protein and calcium into every single one of them and not just throw the stuff in the tank and the bigger ones pushed the little ones out of the way and eat all the good stuff first. Since I started doing this my snails are beautiful and so big.
Hi..... we are from the UK. My 9yr old daughter is obsessed with snails. Land and water. So we have got her a tank with bladder,trumpet and mystery. We are trying to figure what they eat. I have tried cucumber, lettise and pellets but they don't seem interested. With the food you mentioned bell pepper, Cauliflower do I have to cook these first?.
Love your channel and Instagram!! My golden pair had a VERY fruitful winter and I now have a dedicated tank just for the babies. I was wondering if you've ever considered doing a video of how you clean the tank around the little babies? I need some serious tips!
Hi Lav, I have a 20 gal tank with a tidal 35 hob. I want to get at least 2 to 3 mystery snails with no fish ....just a snail tank. I was just wondering if the skimmer which is part of the tidal 35, should be covered, as I don't want any of these little guys getting stuck or injured in any way? Have you had any trouble with your snails since you also use this particular model. Thanks for any help you can give me.😊
Great video, I have a nano betta tank, 2.7 GAL. I purchased two Mystery snails w/o any knowledge on how to care for them. I was under the impression that all they needed was algae. I see how wrong I am. What should I do?
Lav, you are so pretty!! I love this video!! ❤️❤️❤️. I have lost most of my mystery snails. Mine were well over a year old. I will be ordering some from you in the spring. ❤️❤️❤️
A really awesome channel... Thanks... Subbed... I have a 60 gallon and have 21 apple snails, what would be the best to feed them and how often. P. s you're gorgeous
Thanks so much for the support! In the feeding section of this video I talk about suggestions for a well rounded diet 🐌👍perhaps that may help a little. Thank you again!
I’ve got a pair of mystery snails (gold and magenta) that I originally thought were two males. Yesterday I went to feed my fish and found a clutch. Their names are now Monty and Millie 😂💚
I am interested in getting a mystery snail, but my tank has a hole on the top for wires, how do I plug up the hole while still letting the filter wire come through? Thanks so much for making this video!
I designed a breeder tank for shrimps and snails, it runs around 72 degrees Fahrenheit, after two months I have been successful at multi generations on mystery, zebra, and horns snails. The babies look great, I just put in a bunch of orange shrimp in hopes they will do the same soon.
So I'm a new mystery snail owner and I have questions. First my male snail is mounting my female and riding her several times a day. I only have one tank so should I make something to get him out of the tank and give her a break? Second, do the veggies need to be cooked? Third, eggs for calcium, you said to take out the egg lining?
Thank you so much for making this very helpful video. I got a couple of jade & gold mystery snails today and am very excited to look after them properly! I had done a bit of research prior to getting them but I wish I had watched your video first! #fingerscrossed
I got 2 mystery snails from PetSmart IN MY TURTLE TANK! They layer eggs last night and I’m going to incubate and hatch in a different tank.. my turtle tank is the worst place for them to hatch because I got vicious fish and energetic Turtle.. plus the filter will suck them out real quick 😢
I have a probably paranoid question, but - if you boil cucumbers for snails in tap water, does that mean there's chlorine and chloramine in them? Or is it such a small amount it doesn't matter?
The Chlorine, etc. is all removed during the boiling process. Although sometimes, because i am paranoid as well lol, i will add prime or safe to the water AFTER boiling it just to make sure. But the boiling process SHOULD remove all of that yes.
Since I was a young boy we had mystery snails and I like them the most of all aquarium créatures to be fair. However in Holland and france where I live they are illégal. People still sell them secretly but in shops you can't buy them anymore which i totally disagree with.
I found a really big snail on the side walk this morning and I brought it home with me. The shell has ancient patterns it’s so beautiful. So I didn’t know what to feed it so I gave him/her some cucumber . I don’t know if it’s the right food. I don’t want to kill it. Please update me for more info. Thank you ❤🌷🙏🏻
Hi! I love your video. I wanted to ask a few things about mystery snails. I've read online that they carry parasites and diseases that can affect other animals and humans even causing death,is that true? I really like them but that seems really scary to me. How can you find one that is disease and parasite free? Even if you get a "clean" one can they still get those diseases and parasites and then transfer them?I really wanted to own one but since reading that i got really scared. I would really love your opinion and knowledge on this!
Would you consider goldfish to be an aggressive fish ? I had a problem with assassin snails in my mystery snail tank so I bought 3 goldfish to keep the eggs to be eaten should I move my mystery snail to my planted tetra and shrimp tank ? Thank you for loving mystery snails I love my guy spike and I just want the best for him ❤️
Omg I’m So glad I found this we have had snails and fish for three years … one passed so we got a grey one and two months later we have this mass in the tank … I thought it was a fake finger lol my kids prank me … nope it is eggs I have discovered … what do I dooo now !!! Day 5
I believe that I have both species that u talk about in this video. I also believe I saw them mating with each other. The larger species is female. I've had her about 4 months and she must e to me already fertilized because she surprised me with a clutch recently But since then is when I believe I've seen the 2 different species mating. I'm wondering what the outcome will be ? The smaller species I noticed lay their eggs under the water. I was wondering if u knew more about this. By the way I absolutely LOVE your videos. I am a beginner to this
I have a tank ready for a mystery snail who I'm rescuing today! I can't wait to see how it goes with it! Because it's coming from a pet store that does not know how to care for them! And I have been doing research on them lately. To get enough of what it needs I'm still collecting what it needs but almost there! But I have plenty of what I'm needing so far! Besides food for it and drift wood! Which I can get the drift wood next month easy! And the food is easy to get.
I added apple snail today.. It started digging up in the substrate.. It did that in 3 spots within first 10 minutes.. I moved it back to quarantine tank for now.. . Any reason they do that? How to get it to stop? It id ruining the aquascape by digs and uprooting plants..
mistery snails do eat duckweed.... they love it, I have 3 of them, I got some duck weed because it reproduce fast... but every day I had less and less, until one day I noticed that the snails were constantly going to eat it
To stop your plants from being dug up, superglue some of the plant root to a rock, and then plant the rock in the soil. The plant won't care about the glue, but the snail can't lift the rock.
I am very confused about the smell of a dead snail, i have three nerites that don't move, 2 of them haven't moved since I got them.. Thought I'm just giving them time to adjust but it's been a week now. I smell them but they just smell like the ocean does.. i dont know if that's the rotten smell they mean..
I've noticed a lot of algae wafers and shrimp pellets have copper or copper sulfate in them and have always heard copper is bad for snails, so should I just avoid those products or are they okay?
I have 50 some snails that I’m raising They are kind of a brownish color with a tinge of light gold but mainly brownish the father is blue and the mother is a deep gold. All the babies r brown they are a month old will they ever get to b a deep gold. I see you said the water should be 74° our water Is 80 degree maybe it to hot for them what do u think
I have recently gotten 2 snails, they are in a tank with three gold fish and I am worried about the snails, the goldfish seem to knock them around a lot. Is there anything I can do to help this? I don’t want my snails to be stressed
Funny story on how I got my five baby snails My partner’s parents had one golden shell snail in their tank with a fish (not sure what type of fish) the fish sadly died but the snail is still living and the snail had babies there was only one snail in the tank and next thing we knew was there was babies everywhere it had laid eggs in the top corner of the tank outside of water then they all hatched some were late bloomers but they all hatched and well so when you said that they can’t change gender to have babies I thought we’ll no they can because turbo (the snail) did and has babies now I have five of those babies in a small little plastic tank I am trying to get a new tank for them with a fliter and oxygen bubble thing so then they can live their happy live I’ve had them for about two months no fliter no chemicals just straight tap water in the tank with some gravel at the bottom and they seem to be doing good
I had a blue mystery snail for about a year and a half. She passed yesterday. She was a joy and always made me smile with her little tentacles, or when she’d parachute down from the top of the tank and bonk my goldfish in the face. Hope she’s eating broccoli in the snail afterlife :)
Sorry for your loss, also I’m like a year late
Sorry for your loss
Bless her soul.Im sorry for your loss.its good you have beautiful memories together ❤
Sorry for your loss, that snail sounds amazing and I bet you took such good care of her and she was so happy in your care
@@purevanillacookie9977 do you know if neurite snails and mysteries snails Rubus?
"Their best snaily life" 🤣 basically me talking to my snails. Bc I'm that weirdo! Love this!
I also talk with my snails and they are like 👀👄👀
I want my snails to have the best snaily lives too! I also talk to them hehe
Same
This is by far the best care give for mystery snails I've ever seen on UA-cam! ( I've actually seen most of the popular videos )
Thank you! 🐌♥️ I really appreciate that!

Great video! Best part was the line where the rules could be bent, where then you "can duplicate, triplicate, quadruplicate, quintuplicate.... until you're the mother of snails! " So many great lines!
🤣 thanks!
Always best to learn about a creature from somebody who's genuinely a fan of that creature. Love the enthusiasm!
Thank you so much!
Has anyone told you that you have a soothing beautiful voice. Lol you calmed me down while I learned about my snails 😂🐌🐌🐌
Great video. My snail buddy isn't doing too good right now and has me worried. This channel is helping a lot. Subscribed 🐌
I’ve been watching your channel ever since I got mystery snails. Im convinced you’re one of the only people who experiences and understands the love and fascination for them that I do. I wish there was more research on them. They truly are a mystery.
Holy smokes, we got a face reveal for the angelic IG voice 😂 great video!

Watching this I felt comfort. Your way with words and the way you responded to your stutters was enjoyable to watch. Truly appreciate this video
My mystery snails just hatched about a week ago. The aquarium place said that they would not reproduce but here they are! Lol.. almost all of them have lived so far it's been a week.
Do they have to be the same kind of snail to reproduce like for instance a mystery snail and a nerite snail?
@@noaherickson7309 yes they have to be the same species of snail to reproduce ..
THANK YOU for this comprehensive guide. I bought the snails to clean up algae then fell in love with them. Only to watch this and realize I was doing EVERYTHING wrong!

Thanks for the video. Do mystery snails eat Marimo Moss Balls?
This was so good i watched it more than once. i am contemplating subscribing as well as taking notes. excellent video. thank you
Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate the snaily support! 🐌❤
You are so cute
We want to breed snails but we are being told to buy a filter to where babies can’t be sucked through. What brand do you use for your sponge ones?
Okay so lol I have about 12 adults and now I’m caring for 12 egg clutches so yea I’m going to have a lot
What if I put river apple snail in my aquarium????

I was hoping for you to say that they are good with bettas, “calm bettas”…. Mine is grumpy but they’ll be fine… right?
Hi Lav,
I have a 20 gal tank with a tidal 35 hob. I want to get at least 2 to 3 mystery snails with no fish ....just a snail tank.
I was just wondering if the skimmer which is part of the tidal 35, should be covered, as I don't want any of these little guys getting stuck or injured in any way?
Have you had any trouble with your snails since you also use this particular model. Thanks for any help you can give me.😊
Great video, I have a nano betta tank, 2.7 GAL. I purchased two Mystery snails w/o any knowledge on how to care for them. I was under the impression that all they needed was algae. I see how wrong I am. What should I do?
I really want to be a MOTHER OF SNAILS!! 👌🤣👌 Just picked up 3 and hoping I got both sexes so they can start having... Encounters.
I have a beautiful 20 gallon long aquarium and I have two mystery snail buddies and an apple snail in there. They are happy I'm there.
Lav, you are so pretty!! I love this video!! ❤️❤️❤️. I have lost most of my mystery snails. Mine were well over a year old. I will be ordering some from you in the spring. ❤️❤️❤️

You need to add a soil substrate and more plants! Thank you for showing me so much about the mystery snail! Happy Tanking!
I am interested in getting a mystery snail, but my tank has a hole on the top for wires, how do I plug up the hole while still letting the filter wire come through? Thanks so much for making this video!
I designed a breeder tank for shrimps and snails, it runs around 72 degrees Fahrenheit, after two months I have been successful at multi generations on mystery, zebra, and horns snails. The babies look great, I just put in a bunch of orange shrimp in hopes they will do the same soon.
So I'm a new mystery snail owner and I have questions. First my male snail is mounting my female and riding her several times a day. I only have one tank so should I make something to get him out of the tank and give her a break? Second, do the veggies need to be cooked? Third, eggs for calcium, you said to take out the egg lining?
Thank you so much for making this very helpful video. I got a couple of jade & gold mystery snails today and am very excited to look after them properly! I had done a bit of research prior to getting them but I wish I had watched your video first! #fingerscrossed
Best of luck! I'm sure you'll do great!❤🐌
I got 2 mystery snails from PetSmart IN MY TURTLE TANK! They layer eggs last night and I’m going to incubate and hatch in a different tank.. my turtle tank is the worst place for them to hatch because I got vicious fish and energetic Turtle.. plus the filter will suck them out real quick 😢
Very helpful! Thank you so much! Just got my first Mystery Snail :)
I keep Pomacea maculata, i'm thinking of breeding them. I love aquatic snails.
I have a probably paranoid question, but - if you boil cucumbers for snails in tap water, does that mean there's chlorine and chloramine in them? Or is it such a small amount it doesn't matter?
The Chlorine, etc. is all removed during the boiling process. Although sometimes, because i am paranoid as well lol, i will add prime or safe to the water AFTER boiling it just to make sure. But the boiling process SHOULD remove all of that yes.
Since I was a young boy we had mystery snails and I like them the most of all aquarium créatures to be fair.
However in Holland and france where I live they are illégal. People still sell them secretly but in shops you can't buy them anymore which i totally disagree with.
I found a really big snail on the side walk this morning and I brought it home with me. The shell has ancient patterns it’s so beautiful. So I didn’t know what to feed it so I gave him/her some cucumber . I don’t know if it’s the right food. I don’t want to kill it. Please update me for more info. Thank you ❤🌷🙏🏻
Hi! I love your video. I wanted to ask a few things about mystery snails. I've read online that they carry parasites and diseases that can affect other animals and humans even causing death,is that true? I really like them but that seems really scary to me. How can you find one that is disease and parasite free? Even if you get a "clean" one can they still get those diseases and parasites and then transfer them?I really wanted to own one but since reading that i got really scared. I would really love your opinion and knowledge on this!
Would you consider goldfish to be an aggressive fish ? I had a problem with assassin snails in my mystery snail tank so I bought 3 goldfish to keep the eggs to be eaten should I move my mystery snail to my planted tetra and shrimp tank ? Thank you for loving mystery snails I love my guy spike and I just want the best for him ❤️
My snail Zazu uprooted my anacharis bunch today 😂 little rascal! 🌿 good thing its roots are growing out of its tops 😅
Omg I’m
So glad I found this we have had snails and fish for three years … one passed so we got a grey one and two months later we have this mass in the tank … I thought it was a fake finger lol my kids prank me … nope it is eggs I have discovered … what do I dooo now !!! Day 5
Hey look at this!! This was amazing!
Thank you so much Trent! I really appreciate your support!🤗🐌♥️
Hi ! Great video. I have 6 Mystery gold snails. ! I look forward to your other videos ! Thanks !
I believe that I have both species that u talk about in this video. I also believe I saw them mating with each other. The larger species is female. I've had her about 4 months and she must e to me already fertilized because she surprised me with a clutch recently
But since then is when I believe I've seen the 2 different species mating. I'm wondering what the outcome will be ? The smaller species I noticed lay their eggs under the water. I was wondering if u knew more about this. By the way I absolutely LOVE your videos. I am a beginner to this
I have a tank ready for a mystery snail who I'm rescuing today! I can't wait to see how it goes with it! Because it's coming from a pet store that does not know how to care for them! And I have been doing research on them lately. To get enough of what it needs I'm still collecting what it needs but almost there! But I have plenty of what I'm needing so far! Besides food for it and drift wood! Which I can get the drift wood next month easy! And the food is easy to get.
I added apple snail today.. It started digging up in the substrate.. It did that in 3 spots within first 10 minutes.. I moved it back to quarantine tank for now..
.
Any reason they do that? How to get it to stop? It id ruining the aquascape by digs and uprooting plants..
My mystery snails don't eat the regular plants, but they gouarge on floating African Frogbit.
I cannot express how happy I am to have discovered your channel. I love hugging my snails !!
Glad you're here! Thanks for your support and Give 'em a hug for me too ♥️🐌🤗
mistery snails do eat duckweed.... they love it, I have 3 of them, I got some duck weed because it reproduce fast... but every day I had less and less, until one day I noticed that the snails were constantly going to eat it
I love the music choices in your videos!
Thanks!
I gotta say I love the world of Warcraft music in your opener ❤️ I also love apple snails!
To stop your plants from being dug up, superglue some of the plant root to a rock, and then plant the rock in the soil.
The plant won't care about the glue, but the snail can't lift the rock.
I am very confused about the smell of a dead snail, i have three nerites that don't move, 2 of them haven't moved since I got them.. Thought I'm just giving them time to adjust but it's been a week now. I smell them but they just smell like the ocean does.. i dont know if that's the rotten smell they mean..
I've noticed a lot of algae wafers and shrimp pellets have copper or copper sulfate in them and have always heard copper is bad for snails, so should I just avoid those products or are they okay?
4:14 speaking of… our “White queen” turned out to be a “king” when we noticed it erm… getting down with our magenta one…
Do you think theyd like a platform toward the top of the tank just under water level?
In addition to the great info, I liked the music in the background. Subbed.
For your tank you could get away with one 50% change a week or two 25's
How low are you trying to keep ur nitrates?
Some weeks I get away with one. I aim to keep nitrates below 20ppm. 👍
@@LavsSnails me too
Thanks , best wishes.
I have 50 some snails that I’m raising They are kind of a brownish color with a tinge of light gold but mainly brownish the father is blue and the mother is a deep gold. All the babies r brown they are a month old will they ever get to b a deep gold. I see you said the water should be 74° our water Is 80 degree maybe it to hot for them what do u think
I have recently gotten 2 snails, they are in a tank with three gold fish and I am worried about the snails, the goldfish seem to knock them around a lot. Is there anything I can do to help this? I don’t want my snails to be stressed
Funny story on how I got my five baby snails My partner’s parents had one golden shell snail in their tank with a fish (not sure what type of fish) the fish sadly died but the snail is still living and the snail had babies there was only one snail in the tank and next thing we knew was there was babies everywhere it had laid eggs in the top corner of the tank outside of water then they all hatched some were late bloomers but they all hatched and well so when you said that they can’t change gender to have babies I thought we’ll no they can because turbo (the snail) did and has babies now I have five of those babies in a small little plastic tank I am trying to get a new tank for them with a fliter and oxygen bubble thing so then they can live their happy live I’ve had them for about two months no fliter no chemicals just straight tap water in the tank with some gravel at the bottom and they seem to be doing good
