i just bought a trap door snail its shell is covered in algae...should i scrub it off?
 
before i did it ...i touched him n felt a zing...afterwards i touched him felt no zing...do u think he will move overnight ?l ol

im 2l azy to check for the zing..
 
ok he still got some zing...he is ok...is he ever gunna move? lol
 
i got the feeling he is never gunna move...but if he doesnt ill just keep checkin for a zing every 3-4 days..cus i heard dead snails can pollute the water just like any other dead organisms
 
none in the lfs were out the shell...man he had so much algae on him i scrubbed him in a lil thing of water....and the water turned pitch green....i had to scrub that junk off..i dont want a snail pollutin the water...i hope he is ok

he is a i gave him a little gentle scrub..jk I SCRUBBED THE #### OUT OF HIM
HE AINT EVER COMIN OUT TTHAT SHELL...AHAHHAHAHA
 
ya i know i was thinking that....

the loach is still a baby he aint hurtin nobody

every 1 in my tank minds there own business EXCEPT FOR MY 2 MALE GOURAMIS =( noobie mistake...GRRRR

the lady at the lfs played me out...
 
I would think that he isn't very pleased about his recent scrubbing, so he may hide a bit because of this.

Also, every time you 'zing' him, I bet it scares him more and he will feel the need to hide even longer, ya know? :/

I understand what you mean about a dead snail causing problems for the tank, but he might appreciate you leaving him alone for a bit, and feel a bit more comfortable coming out of his shell.

Just my logic that is backed in no science, but my logic nonetheless. ;)

Hope the little guy does well! :good:
 
ya i know ...i checked him like 3 times for zing..probly scared the #### out of him

ahahh HE CAME OUT!!!!! YES!!! HE IS ALIVE.!!1
 
ahh checked the zing like 3 times...and gave him a lil bath...hell be ok
