Help! Mystery snail dying!

  • #1
I've had a mystery snail for over a month named Speedwagon. He was zooming around fine a week ago, but about 4 days ago I had to put him in a fish hospital because he was laying on his side vulnerable and I didnt want my betta bothering him. Now he's been in a tuberware floating in the tank.
Now he hasn't gotten up for 2 days, he still retracts, but not fully and really seems ill. His foor is receding off the operculum, and seems kind of swollen.
I checked my water parameters and they're, so I don't think that's the problem... he eats alage wafers and eats the old food, but doesn't touch his blanched vegetables, and I have put plenty of cuddlebone in his tank. My netrite snail is fine.
Any help? It's been days and I don't like seeing him suffer and thinking hes dead every other hour.

I never had any luck with Mysterys. My Nerites are fine, never had one die.

How long did your's lay there before it passed? I've read some horror stories where it takes 1-3 months...

No never that long. They smell really bad when they are dead.

He passed overnight last night. Giving him a proper burial.

Sorry for your loss, any copper in any of your other fish foods? Copper is deadly to snails
