Assassin snail out for a joy ride

Haven’t seen my snail all day. Then I see a weird object flying around the top of the tank. Upon closer inspection, it’s my snail flipped upside down floating around. I’ve had this guy only one day and he’s already slacking on the job (there are bladder snails somewhere in there).

But actually, has anyone seen this before?

Is it possible to tell if there is a coating versus just shiny from tumbling? (for fish sake)

These are the rocks in question. I really want some naturally shaped, medium-sized white pebbles to add to my aquarium, but it seems to be hard to verify how the rocks were processed. Are you able to tell based on looks if it is just tumbled vs if there is a coating (like resin)?

I don’t trust sellers on etsy to tell the truth unfortunately, otherwise I would just ask.

Pregnant or sick?

I just got these shrimp yesterday, and all 9 were together in a bag during transport. Thanks to this subreddit, I know that something is up with this shrimp, but I can’t tell what.

If he is sick, I don’t know what to do other than quarantine him right away and a “salt bath” for him (which I would need to look up what that entails). I’m really hoping this is pregnancy and not sickness.

Tank parameters: nitrate 10, nitrite 0, hardness 25, alkalinity 40, pH 7, ammonia 0

[walmart third party] Checking if fake before opening

Haven’t opened yet, but just wanted to check if these seem legit? Trying to avoid any return hassle by not opening in case they are fake. Boyfriend got them from a seller on the Walmart app
