My apple snail is CRAZY!
I have had him a couple of months now. He started off in a Biorb and has now been moved to a 4ft tank. In the Biorb he used to climb up the side of the bowl and just let go...crashing down to the substrate below. I thought at first it was an accident but I kept seeing him do it. He has damaged his shell as a result, there is a hole on one side but he is still going strong.
When I moved him to the 4ft tank i thought he might calm down, but....No! I just caught him climb up to the filter outlet and let go...he rode the current to the other end of the tank then making a smooth landing on the fine gravel. He has climbed over teh filter before and must have realised that if he lets go the current takes him for a ride.
Is he mad or is there something wrong with him?!
Also, is there anything I can do to help him fix his shell?
