HaNs Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 All my rams horns snails have this whiteness on their shells. It almost like something is eating the shells as they are pitted. They are in a 20c tank insulated on all 4 side with natural light coming in the top. They are the only animal in the tank Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Probably a lack of calcium. Put one of those turtle blocks in the tank and it'll eventually come right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaNs Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I dont have any turtle blocks. Is there any thing else i can put in there? Ie food wise. Can i chuck a calcium tablet in? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Might as well give the calcium tablet a go, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Holden Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I had a similar problem in a tank absolutely full of ramshorns, I was told to put in cushed oyster shell, did that and now have about 10% of the snails left, probably the best thing you can do is water changes in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 ep, water changes, get your pH up to just over 7 and that'll get rid of the agressiveness of the water. Of course it does depend on the fish you have and what priority that you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
