Dead mystery snail shells warning.

[JayAlva]

When my mystery snails die i usually clean the shell out and leave the shell as a decoration. Today i was looking at my aquarium and found a dead panda cory inside the shell it managed to get stuck in the curled part of the shell. I didn't even think that it's something that could happen. Just a warning i hope helps others.

Yeah...i could definitely see one of my gudgies doing just that, too. They are little derps.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm sorry for your loss.

You have to be careful to avoid anything that might become a trap. I had a PVC pipe elbow in my tank, thinking that it would be a great hiding place for smaller fish. However, a mystery snail became lodged in the elbow and died.
