Hi!Ā 
I think something is wrong with 2/3 mystery snails. One is floating and the other one has some discharge from its foot and not as active as usual.
Ā 

The third one is fine.Ā 
***snail #1 (floating) and snail #2 (black) are the same age, and #3 is their offspring.Ā 
Ā 

I noticed there arenā€™t egg clutches eitherā€¦.perhaps bc itā€™s winter?Ā 
Ā 

the tank looks lucious and clean, (except for some black bears algae that Iā€™ve come to like hahahaha.Ā 
Ā 

I also have 2 ā€œrabbit/elephantā€ snails which seem fine.Ā

Iā€™m sorry about your snails. Pull your floating ones. Touch the foot you should see retraction and smell. Floating while hanging out of the shell is often a sign they have passed. Floating is also a sign of poor water for them or excess hunger but they usually close up to do so. It is a defense mechanism to float to a more hospitable area.Ā

Hi! Thank you so much!Ā 
I thought that the water is fine. I did a strip test, and everyone else is fine. I also changed 25% of water a few days ago.

I also feed alternating Ā frozen blood worms, cow heart, and shrimp, vibra bites, little ball pellets that are for loaches, and crab cuisine; maybe they need like greeneryā€¦?

it is not dead.Ā 
Ā 

The black one is fine.Ā 
Ā 

And my rabbit ones are fine tooĀ 

mayen just end of life?Ā 
Ā 

I put it on a lily pad and fed it noriĀ 

hard to see from the glare.Ā

Feed them blanched green beans. Zucchini or any veggies. Ā You cannot tell age of them by size so perhaps it is end of life. Always sad but I treasure the time they are with me.Ā 
Akso any parasite meds or no planaria can affect them. Their body composition is similar to worms.Ā
