I just bought a gold mystery snail, and he was really lively in the store but once I put him in my tank (along with the plants I bought), he dug a little hole in the gravel and half-buried himself. I have yet to see his little face. Will he be okay?
The temperature is pretty warm...80-82 degrees. It's really cute--only the top of the shell is showing. I actually watched him dig the hole. He finally found a suitable spot under a plant, and the shoveled his face into the gravel. :]What's the temperature of the tank?
From what I've read they do that, it's just a dormancy thing. I'm sure he'll be up and about shortly enough.
Are your snails Pomacea canaliculata? These are plant eating machines. I kept resisting the urge to put them in my pond where lots of plants thrive for fear they'll mow down everything in less than a week.Hah. I wish mine would do that But I guess they do what they want, including eat my wisteria!
