hii i’m a beginner fish owner and iv never had snails before until today!
I got a mystery snail and it’s been eating my live plants??
iv done research and apparently they will “leave your plants alone” but its constantly eating!
iv tried giving it a algae wafer i give to my corydoras and it worked for a little until it wanted the plant again
is there a reason why its after my plants?
did the pet store starve the poor thing?
