- Two Golden Apple Snails (Ampullariidae from the superfamily Ampullarioidea) eating a dead trout fry. They sniffed it out very quickly and raced around the tank (as snails do!) trying to find the root of the "smell" (The chemical signature of a dying or dead creature).
Unfortunately I didn't have the correct lens to film them at such a close proximity hence the unfocussed subjects, and by the time I gave up looking, they had found the fallen trout fry and gobbled up quite a lot of it.
Enjoy, if you like that sort of thing!
If your water is too soft or doesn't have enough calcium your snail can't create its shell properly as it grows, so the shell becomes weak and slowly deteriorates. Raising the pH and/or adding calcium supplements to your tank can help reverse it. Sinking algae wafers are a generously accepted food for snails, and they make a few different formulas with different food percentages. You're bound to find one your snail likes.
That's great news! Enjoy him, they're hungry little thigs so drop a bit of cucumber or lettuce in once a week if you have no algae or plants for him to munch on. Good luck with this one! :)
@xXLikeAbosSXx09 It eats the entire thing because those fish bones are very soft compared to bones of larger fish.
cool snails
CUTE snails!! :-D
@remeeraz hmmmmm i wonder if mystery snails do the same thing
That's a shame, it could have been anything. I've seen on most fish treatment additives they can harm or even kill Gastropods and that you should remove them from the tank while giving any treatments. You should then do a large percentage water change before re-introducing them in order to reduce the risk of possibly poisoning of them. That's a common mistake I've heard of that kills them.
what eat its
@remeeraz so does it eat all of the fish and leave no traces or does it just leave the bones around with the head
@mehmetakif126 Bigger snails.
Any green vegetation is usually acceptable for snails but they usually like the proper aquarium plants a lot too. These trout fry were dead, the result of dominance stress, you can't buy them from a pet store no but if you know someone that breeds try them.
Have you treated the water that you've isolated the snail in? Don't use fish treatments like Myxuzin and other chemicals without checking the label for compatibility with snails (Gastropod Mollusks etc), some of these chemicals kill snails.
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! but cool
Where did you buy the trout fry? At the pet store? I have an apple snail, but he's really sick :( I don't know what to feed him at all! I've tried feeding him cucumber but he won't eat it :( I've had him quarantined for 2 weeks and he's still not getting better. His shell is degrading and he won't eat anything. What should I do? Can anyone help me?
Never get fish from walmart why why why why why whyw
I got 2 of those snails today and a alge eater and 2 baby catfish and an angel fish the catfish died and so did the angel fish why why why why I only have three now why why why why(: I'm soo sad now omg I hate walmart fish now I hate them I hate them I hate them
