Hi everyone,
I’m hoping you can help. I purchased this little one (mystery snail) today and am a bit alarmed.
He hasn’t moved since I put him in the tank approximately 2pm. He’s not gone up for air, nothing (as of 9 last evening). He seems to be struggling to open - weak. his little antennas, barely moving.
I’ve not seen these black bug - like critters before can anyone identify?
I have him in a bag for protection just while I try to diagnose. Part of his shell has peeled away at the front you can see it hanging there.
Your thoughts are appreciated!! He is struggling that I do know. I don’t want him to suffer any longer. Poor thing.
