So... I've discussed before about the weird snails we have in NE Mississippi... and I finally found their scientific name, but don't remember it...
Anyways.. I always thought that the ones I put in my 5 gallon tank died because that tank was a complete disaster.... I am talking straight biohazard disaster! My sister put some in her 150 gallon tank and they are still alive and kicking! Well... I think I might have discovered why they died...
Surely everyone on here is now familiar with my son and his....... need to kill all my fish! Lol. Well he use to throw coin money in the 5 gallon. Like quarters and pennies... do you think that is what killed the snails? I knew that copper prevented algae. But I was just now made aware that it kills snails too! Given pennies now aren't solid copper, would that be enough to kill a snail?
