Missing snail!

[Bettalover29]

So normally I check in on my tanks and make sure everything is good. I've only seen 2 of my snails recently. But I chalked it up to one hiding cause I have a lot of decorations to make my betta girls hiding places and stuff. So I just assume they alternate hiding. Well I got concerned cause normally I can catch a glimpse of all 3 once in a while. I flipped my decorations and searched but still only 2. I looked around the tank and in the gravel. Where are they????

What snails are they? Have you checked outside of the tank in case they have escaped?

 

[Bettalover29]

Yeah I've checked around the tank. They're nerite

How deep is your gravel? It might have burrowed in.

 

[Bettalover29]

Maybe an inch deep. Not super deep. I'm just so confused

I've had a mystery snail go "missing". Dug throughout the entire tank and couldn't find her. About five minutes later I saw the corner of her shell in a odd spot in her coconut hide. Put out some blanched snail safe veggies and see if it comes out to eat.

Nerites are masters at hiding. I looked everywhere possible for one in my 5.5 gallon tank. Couldn't find it. A few hours later I saw it out and about. I have no idea where it could have been hiding since I thought I had looked everywhere.
