 | Snail question |
Satinandtat Hobbyist Posts: 54 Votes: 0 Registered: 11-Aug-2005 | I had two small apple snails in a 5 gallon tank. Both seemed to be thriving and were definitely well-fed. However, I discovered one of them in the process of eating the other a few days ago. Should I assume that the dead one was dead before the other one started to eat it, or is it possible that, well, it wasn't? I'm just curious, because I can't think of any reason for the snail to have died. |
