Tamberav Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Yes mine goes cruising to the top sometimes at night... I have no idea how he manages to do it. Found the photos. To be fair I let the glass get pretty dirty sometimes. He's got a beefy appendage.... 2 1 Quote Link to comment

hinnenkm Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Mine do the same. Conchs just don't do it often enough for it to be typical behavior 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment
Tired Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 My dwarf ceriths hang out near the top sometimes. I had been worried at first, because in freshwater that can mean your oxygen level is low, but I think this is just something saltwater snails do. Probably because a lot of the snails we keep are tidepool animals. I think it also comes from them just going along in a straight line until they reach the edge of how far they can go. 1 Quote Link to comment
