I just noticed this early. I noticed a lot of my pond snails end to die off on their own after a few weeks leaving white shells behind. i never cared much for them since they are like rabbits...

But mow i see the tips of my Malayan Trumpet snails shells starting to turn white and break apart. Nothing bad yet but i can see it.

I take it i have a calcium deficiency in the water???

Should i add a cuttle bone? I kinda like my snails so i want them to live. Can i put the bone in my filter?

Yes, it would be a good idea to add the cuttlebone to the tank. You can definitely put it in your filter but also put a piece on the floor of the tank so that the snail can also eat off of it to get some extra calcium.
