Why are my snails behaving like this in QT?

[Shilpan Patel]

Hey guys! Had my snails in quarantine for 9 days now. Ammonia 0. Why are they behaving like this? They keep coming up to the edge of the tank?
I put some seaweed and DT rubble in there for a food source. Temp 25degCelcius, salinity 1.026, there’s a bubbler providing oxygen and I have a canister filter with SeaChem matrix in it.

Because their snails and the climb the glass.

Film algae grows on th glass and snails love it, so they climb the glass cleaning the film algae off it.

I got about 10 nerite snails and put them in display and they started crawling out. Kept finding them on the floor. Now only 2 left. I think temperature may have something to do with it. Or perhaps something else related to acclimation.

Hmm ok the air is warm
Maybe I’ll turn up the temperature a notch

my snails in my DT used to climb up all the time. I just didn’t realize they go out of the water like these ones are doing.

Ok no worries then. Unfortunately I’ve lost 2 already because they tipped over when I went out for the weekend and I wasn’t able to turn them over before they died.
