 | How do I clean my snail? :D |
kitsoncoalesced Fingerling Posts: 49 Kudos: 28 Votes: 0 Registered: 07-Jun-2004   | My apple snail has algae growing on his shell. While I've heard this isn't going to harm him, would it be possible to gently rub it off with a soft bristled toothbrush? I've just found it ironic that the little guy I bought to help remove algae from my tank now has algae growing on himself  |
