SpitfireMk24 Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 hmm . . . but why would a snail die? Link to comment
reefsrule Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 sometimes when they fall over they can't get up Link to comment
gussy Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I read on WWM that healthy snails can always get up by themselves and it's the sick or weak ones that can't get up. Maybe old age? Link to comment
petkid51 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Or maybe you have a phsycotic shrimp, you never know. Link to comment
BigRed25X Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 not all snails can turn themselves over...only some Link to comment
BKtomodachi Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 What kind of snail is that? It looks like either a tidal or coldwater species maybe. Is it new? Link to comment
slickchick Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Yes, prob dead. Not all snails can turn themselves over...astrea have a tough time. Link to comment
Prunfarm Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Yeah, I'm guessing dead snail. I've seen plenty of snails that can't navigate through sand, and buy the farm. Link to comment
DitchPlains Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 My turbos died after 4 months, then no more hair algae and no food....they become sluggish, and my hermits took the oppt....by by snails. : Link to comment
mike88camaro Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Man you should get your snail a red alert thingy around their shell for when they fall over on their backs. LOL (snail falls over and scream, " Help I've flipped over and I cant get up." Announcement guy comes on and give you his sales pitch, "Dont let that happen to your snail. Buy him a Red Alert. If you call now its only 19.99 +shipping. All major credit cards accepted.) Link to comment
