Well I thought I would try 2 nassarius snails to see how they would fair in my tank.... with the porcupine puffer that is... Well first night one moved without any problems without getting picked on... I was feeding puffer in the opposite corner distracting him...
The other guy just seemed to sit there and move around some sand but that was it... later on that night he moved 1/2 away across the sand... next morning he was on my LR... the by lunch he was upside down with no sign of life.... and he wasn't picked on as no chunks of him where missing he just seemed curled up in his shell. The puffer doesn't even go near him and there is no shell damage at all. I flipped him around to see if there is any life and still nothing.
Did I just buy a bad snail? I thought snails where pretty hardy...
The other snail has been in the tank for 2 days now... and he is moving along quite well... not as fast as the first day... but none the less he is alive...
Jc
