We went to get some snails yesterday and at the same time we got our water tested, our water was apparently all good and I do a weekly 40-50% water change and have never had any issues with my test at home kit. This morning, each snail has excreted about 50 little black dots, at the first we...

I have been doing 40-50% changes weekly apart from 2 this week to try and flush out any badness. I even rinse out the filter in emptied tank water, wipe the sides of the tank and scrub decorations in emptied tank water each week to try and keep it as clean and happy in there as possible. Really...
