I HAVE A QUESTION I ADDED A COUPLE OF SNAILS TO MY 55 GALLON AQUARIUM AFTER 2 WEEKS THEY BOTH DIED COULD IT BE AQUARIUM SALT OR A HIGH PH THATS KILLED THEM MY PH IS OVER 8 IF ANYONE KNOWS LET ME KNOW THANKS
 
Could you please state your reasons for using the aquarium salt? If you were treating for ich, table salt could have saved you for a fraction of the price of the aquarium salt.

agreed : )
 
i didn't feed them i thought alge was all they needed the reason i used aquarium salt 1 table spoon per gallon is because about half of my fish are live bearing fish and the clerk at the pet store told me to use it all my fish are doing o k i've had my aquarium fo about 8 months
 
what kind of snails are they??

Apple snails need to be target fed a calcium rich diet in order to maintain their health. This includes things like fresh veggies (zucchini, cucumber, green beans, etc). They can also be supplemented with wafers or fish foods, but they are not efficient scavengers or algae eaters.
