Crystal_W Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Is it safe to move a snail from a tank that has a diseased fish to a new tank with other fish? Will the snail carry the disease? What's the safest way to go about it? We want to treat the sick Betta but want to remove the snail first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 It's usually not a problem- but if you want to be extra cautious you could put some of the tank water from the tank that is not sick into a container and "wash" the snail (being gentle of course on the shell) and change the water out a couple of times. Then put snail in its new space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
