I putt him back down again..then later he starts to move around and then he floats up again. Last edited by robby1619 at 14-Apr-2005 13:13 I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

Some of mine will even extend their foot and look like they are walking upside down on the top of the water. I had 2 that loved climbing into the bubble wand, letting it throw them up to the top of the tank, then sailing down again. I think too much bubble wand sailing was the death of my rose colored snail. She sat in the bubbles so much it actually put a groove in her shell. It could also just be the snail acclimating to the tank or looking for food floating on the surface. They'll suck floating plant particles and fish flakes off the top.
