I don't have a tank for him right. I just sold the tank 2 days ago and will be getting a new one in a day or two right now he is in a bucket with 3 other snails. how do I increase calcium in the water? (also note that we don't get any sort of meds for fishes here in my area except for fin rot ich) is there any home made way ro do it? please suggest me.

Your water might be too acidic as well. I'd also use something like crushed coral as a substrate in the tank.
