Mystery snail question again!

[cowgirluntamed]

So...I had finally put my blue gourami in the 20 gallon where I had two mystery snails already. That was just yesterday. He had seemed to leave then alone for the most part but when I got home from work and looked in on them, they had bites taken out of their antenna. I left them this morning and just kept an eye on things. The gourami continued to pick at them which they weren't liking much.

So...I had two nerites in the ten gallon quarantine he had been housed in and just switched the snails over. I think it's for the best. Hopefully any new fish will be nice to the snails.

Anyway...my question is...will their antenna heal up and get longer again? I did end up finding them to be fascinating creatures and that was part of it! Lol.

Yes the antennae grow back. But i couldnt find out how long it takes

Yes they will grow back in a few weeks.
