Why snail doesn't live for long

[finind]

snails tend to die with a week or a few weeks

wonder what's wrong with my tank

besides predator and food, what likely cause their death?

[Eric Ng]

water? snails are usually quite hardy!

[John Deroe Kenedy]

check ur water quality dude... Snails are the easiest by far, but if u have too many snails and not much algae to graze on, it could be starvation.

[finind]

at times i suspect they gana choke by algae

water quality ..hmm... nemo and cleaner shrimp survive over a year and frogspawn also open big big ... not sure snail needs better quality that that?

calcium... din really measure frequently but judging from the coraline algae growth and weekly water change with H2Ocean salt... should be enough ba

You may want to acclimate your snails before adding into your tank by slow dripping. Snails are inverts and may not take fluctuation of parameters. If yours are astrea sp, they are unable to right themselves once toppled and will die in your tank.

They are hardly creature.

My snails with me since day one.

I have turbo snail.

My hermit crab likes to attack turbo snails and take over the home. No fight, one way battle.
