Hi Everybody--
I feel like I know the answer but I'm looking for someone to give me a silver lining.
I have a few nerite snails, maybe 10 in total) that are constantly flipped upside down and not moving from their spots.
For the past two weeks I've been flipping them back over so they are right-side-up.
None of them smell bad and they are all still responsive to touch.
WHY I think they are doing this is NOT because of water parameters per say but instead of shock?
I had to move them to different tanks over the course of one month in order to treat the original tanks with some meds to kill a mini hydra outbreak that was starting. The only difference in the parameters between the tanks was the temperature so I didn't acclimate them (very much so yelling at myself for that decision.) The temps were a MAXIMUM of 4 degrees off so I didn't think it would do much harm.
It's been two weeks and there has been no change in behavior. I've done a couple 10% water changes spread out (maybe four in the past two weeks) and still no change.
Are they dying? Are they hibernating?
Thoughts on what I can do to remedy the situation?
