 | Floating Snail |

In the wild they would do this and just float down stream to where the water was good. Fill a bucket with tap water, add your water conditioner to it, swirl it around for 10 mins or so, let it sit for an hour or more, then put your snail in it. He should come out in under 30 minutes. If he does come out it tells you theres something wrong with your tank water and you need to pick up the water changes. Last edited by john.stone at 23-Dec-2004 16:22 |
