jodecii Hobbyist Posts: 51 Kudos: 26 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Jan-2006	I "had" a blk mystery snail in my tank with 1 gourami, 1 pleco, 5 danios, 3 cories... To my bewilderment I looked in my tank this morning and the snail was gone but the shell is still there. I have looked around my tank but can seem to find the "remains" anywhere? Any ideas?

It's possible the snail may have severely polluted the tank, so the ammonia may have jumped a few notches. Of course, do a water change if such a thing has happened. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

It is also a good suggestion to do at least 3 30% water changes three days appart to make sure the tank is not poluted. Do a full water test first and when completed the water changes, just to be on the safe side. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
