My snails died and I’m sad
I got 2 new nerites for my 10 gallon tank on Tuesday and they died yesterday. Their names were Mongo and Snorts.
I’m heartbroken. 😭
They were both active when added to the tank and climbing on the glass and the decor. They looked so happy and cute! Then the next day, while attached to the glass, they both just stopped.
My water tests came back normal - no ammonia, no nitrite issues. The ph is around 7. Temp is mid 70s. I have a small school of neon tetras who are acting totally normal and couldn’t have cared less about the snails being added to the tank. Things should have been fine. I just don’t know why they died. I want snails but now I’m scared that I’m just going to keep losing snails because I’m doing something wrong but I don’t know what it is.
