Will this affect my snail in any way???

[Videl]

I have a mystery snail or what others may call it, an apple snail. I have a couple of fish showing symptoms of white spot (ich) disease. I was just wondering if the treatment for ich which contains 0.400mg/mL malchite green, 4.00mg/mL methylene blue and 2.00mg/mL acriflavine will affect my snail in any way.

I think some of these meds may have copper in them which would be bad for your snail. I would check the ingredients to be sure. Is there somewhere you could move your snail temporarily while you medicate?

I'm not positive but almost certain that malchite green and methylene blue are bad for snails and scaleless fish so it may kill the snails.
