HELP!!

[TristanBara1273!!]

i just did a water change (about 30-45%) to lower my nitrates and i’m scared i might have affected my turbo snail because i’m not sure if there was a salinity change and i know they’re quite sensitive to that

Check the salinity

What’s going on with the snail ?

 

[artieg1]

Was your salinity the same? If so, I would not worry. Take a breath, watch the tank. It's a turbo snail.

hi should not be a problem if salinity and temperature were close

the temp is still the same and the salinity is 1.025

the salinity is 1.025 i think before it was 1.023 or 1.0245

nothing he’s brand new so he’s not moving im just wondering if he’ll be okie

Is there something wrong with them? This small salinity shift will not matter.

no he’s just not doing much but i don’t know if that’s cause salinity change or the face i got him yesterday

Is the turbo the only thing in there? A change that small should have zero impact. Is this your first water change? If not what gave you concern?

this is my 2nd water change and he is the only thing in there, i did the water chnage because i’ve completed my cycle and i’m getting a fish tomorrow it’s just i got the snail yesterday and i don’t know if he’s not moving cause he’s new or cause he’s stressed

 

[TristanBara1273!!]

this is him

 

[AFHokie]

Snails will often just chill without moving. If your salinity changed .002 I doubt there’s a problem.

I think he is chilling.

They often don't move for a few days when you first get them (at least mine didn't) and they'll often not move for a couple days at a time on a regular basis. It's almost like if they're full they just stay still until they're hungry again and have to go foraging. I don't think they roam the tank for the fun of it. They're either on the move for food or they're resting.
