Josh Giro Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 (edited) I got this Japanese Trapdoor snail yesterday, and it was moving around normally last night and this morning, but seems to not be moving at all. Just wondering if he’s just sleeping or if I should worry. My water parameters are good, I tested and it’s at the right temperature.

Just wondering if he’s just sleeping or if I should worry. My water parameters are good, I tested and it’s at the right temperature. Snails do sleep! It could be just having a rest. I’d give it some time. If it doesn’t move in a day, take it out and sniff it. If it smells the same as the aquarium, return it to the tank. If it stinks, it has passed. What parameters did you test? Ammonia is most toxic, and nitrite is the next toxic one. Both should be zero. Edited July 13 by Chick-In-Of-TheSea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Giro Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 Ammonia and nitrite were at 0 and nitrate was pretty low, but it actually started moving again thankfully! It must’ve just been resting. I wanted to just make sure because it’s my first Japanese Trapdoor and I’m only used to having Ramshorns. Thanks for the help anyways 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
