BikBok Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 this is really odd. For the last few mornings I have found baby trumpet snails floating on the surface of the water. They are not dead but very sluggish and close to dead. The water quality tested out ok and the adult trumpets are fine. Any ideas what is going on? I'm not really concerned about the snails so much but if there is something that could in turn affect my fish .. or a die off that would pollute the water - then that would be my worry.

Adrienne Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I often have baby snails floating and have never thought anything of it. I will interested to hear what others have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneeyedfrog Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Is this the tank you put pimafix in? Once I treated a tank with pimafix and all the snails ended up at the top. After a couple of days the bristlenose started shooting up out of the water too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiplymouth Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 MTS are livebearers and groups of newborn can often be seen floating on top of the water. Its a great opportunity to scoop them up an dispose of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I've seen my snails crawling on the water surface upside down. Maybe they're just doing that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikBok Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 nah, they're definitely just floating.. never seen it before until this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
