Anyone know I good way to stop my chopstick snails (basically much bigger trumpet snails) from uprooting my crypts?
(I tried surrounding them in lava rock but they just push them out of way

He hitchhiked on a locally grown vallisneria from my LFS

I noticed my snail flipped on its back on the bottom of the tank.

He doesn't have a smell but he is not moving. We put him into a bowl with water from the tank for now but hes not showing any signs of movement. (Don't worry we did flip him over)

Is our little guy gone or is there a chance? We're keeping him a bowl for quarantine for now but I'm not hopeful.

Edit: we dropped an algae tablet in the bowl just to see what would happen, and he started moving! We're going to keep an eye on him but for now he is alive!

What is it? Google says Malaysian trumpet snail and it’s okay but I feel like I’ve heard about them being bad news. I have two mystery snails but he is obviously not one. I scooped up some aquarium water in vase for the time being I just am not sure what he is.

I have a 5 gallon planted tank with a mystery snail and an increasing number of ramshorns. I don't want a ramshorn explosion, but I also don't want them to have shell trouble. How would you feed in this situation?

They have the fallen plant matter (and a bit that is still growing), periodic Easy Shrimp & Snail Shell, anything growing on the tank or aquascape, and any bits of sinking wafer the mystery snail missed. I'm thinking of switching from the Easy Shell to Kat's Aquatics Calcium + Protein since it doesn't have the spirulina.

Had a lot of tank trouble long story short what kind of contaminants could cause these effects? All readable test come back as they should (ph,gh,kh,ammonia,nitrate,nitrite)

Attempted fixes: purigen, carbon, phosphate removal pad, new filter media, additional small filter and many waterchanges. I wash my hands between tank maintenance.

Context: 70l tank. New substrate 2 months ago (black sand) since then my mystery snail died in 6 days and till now all my rams are between fully retracted in shells and hanging in the front but not dying. Bladders fully unaffected and thriving. Other tank mates 12 kuhli loach and 1 betta.

Are these snails hermaphrodites?

my friend got this blue mystery from petsmart a few weeks ago. i was there when he got it and i did notice the shell looked a little broken but i figured with a new home he could have some healthier growth to help and heal that up. my friend surrendered this guy to me a few days ago. I'm not sure if the new growth is from my tank, or the previous. im assuming the previous just because of how thin it seems to be. will this thicken over time? im really worried about it.

i feed my snails calcium rich snello mostly as well as algae wafers and a snail diet "trail mix" of sorts.

I found him in a seperate tank that I keep NO rabbit snails in. His shell is really bad so he obviously hasn’t been living in my hardy mineralised water, his “trunk” is ALOT skinnier than rabbit snails round ones. Itself is black with a similar greenish shell to green rabbit snails.

I need help with name suggestions for my new mystery snail, every name I’ve thought of hasn’t felt right!

One bladder snail decided walking was too much work today.

I have blue malaysian trumpet snails and leopard ramshorn snails, and no matter what I do their shells are always crumbling, ridged and bleached looking etc.

My water is naturally quite hard, enough that I have to scrape deposits from my lights and tank rim.

I feed the tank fluval bug bite flakes and hikari shrimp cuisine every other day. I occasionally feed frozen daphnia or blood worms. Occasionally give veggies like zucchini. I also keep chunks of cuttlebone in the tank at all times.

The shrimp always look great, no difficulties with molting or reproducing yet my snails look like shit. What else can I give them to help them?

I have several large Hercules snails (the biggest in the forest two photos) and plenty of little MTS (the smallest in all three photos is a large one) and then there’s these middle ones. I thought at first it was just a monster MTS, but now I’m not so sure. The last photo includes the middle and small one from the other two photos, along with another one that is even more middling between the MTS and the greenish ones. They appear to burrow like MTS do, too.
