Why am I killing so many snails?
I am testing water every day since my tank is still new. This morning I was showing trace levels of ammonia (less than .025) so I did a snail/crab check and sure enough I pulled out 7 dead snails. That is a total of 17 snail losses so far. Previous water parameters over last week were good- zero ammonia and nitrite, nitrates have not been higher than 10 ppm, Sg at 1.024, pH 8.2, 80 degrees.
What is going on??????
