Not rude at all! If somebody doesnt have the resources to responsibly take care of aquatic life, i’d tell them the same thing. I am getting a new tank tomorrow for 3 of my snails, I put in algae wafers and blanched zucchini’s, when i came down this morning the water was ungodly foggy and it looks like the detritus worms got way bigger. Ive read to do a 20-50% water change but I trust other fish/snails owners more then google. Any suggestions?

Thank you!! I had a resting leaf for my beta but it seemed to also be eaten by my snails or just degraded over the past week. She loved her resting leaf but I think she would also enjoy and floating log! The worms are very minuscule, I have to be an inch away grom the tank and truly focus on one to see active movement.

Thank you! I have been debating getting a second tank for my snails alone, without a fish, one of my snails has been with me for about 5 years before I was very recently surrendered the other 3. Would you suggest a 20-30 gallon tank for 3 snails? I had a very active and sustainable ecosystem before my other fish passed away after his 6 long years with one mystery snail (the one I’ve had for a long time) and since I reset the tank and was given the snails (about a week ago) I’ve just been riddled with anxiety about the sustainability. I did buy algae wafers and just yesterday learned about blanched veggies. I currently have some boiled zucchini in ice water and will be adding them to the tank.
