My giant ramshorn (Marisa cornuarietis) has been acting funny recently- doing a lot of resting on the ground in his shell when hes normally up at the top and active. I've also noticed his shell looks different and not sure if it's something to do with my water.
I can't copy and paste the sick fish thing sonill put what I can remember.
It's a 55gal tank
Has two filters, an aquatech 30 -60 & a sunsun hw 302 canister filter
Not heated but stays at about 77-79, we try to keep it at 74 but it's so hot in my state that the ac can't get the house below 77.
I vacuum both water and the substrate
50% water changes with prime every friday
Tanks fully cycled, has been since January
Ammonia -0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 40
Ph -6 (just added some ph up, slowly trying to get it to 7. Idk why it's so low in my tanks, my tap water is 7)
He eats fresh zucchini, yellow squash, and whatever food falls to the bottom. Which are:
FD brine shrimp, frozen blood worms, wardley shrimp pellets, apI shrimp pellets, aqueon tropical flakes, hikarI micro pellets, new life spectrum thera a.
Hes housed with 14 neon tetras, 5 cory cats, 1 honey gourami. All tank mates are acting fine.
I only just started noticing him act weird in the last 2 weeks. No other symptoms beyond the shell and behavior.
Attached are photos of him now (one with zucchini] and one from when we first got him in april.
Also attaching photo of the tank
