Why is my snail hanging out of shell?

The two main reasons that snails leave their shells are to eat and to mate. It is perfectly normal for mystery snails to hang out of their shell a little. If you are concerned, give them a tap. If they retreat back in, then everything is fine.

How do I know if my snails are dying?

If you can’t see the body of the snail inside the shell, or if the body is hanging out of the shell without moving, the snail is most likely dead. Similarly, if the snail shell feels extremely light and you can’t see anything inside, the snail has probably died. Look for the trapdoor on the snail’s body.

Will loaches eat Nerite snails?

Nerites are shaped differently than most snails, depending on species of nerite, and they can pull in tighter and hold well. A lot of loaches will give up on them, especially if they’re well fed. I’ve had nerites survive in tanks with tonnes of clown loaches indefinitely.

Do loaches eat snail eggs?

They are not really hunters but scavengers – they search for food and scraps instead of attacking. However, as we already mentioned, they might eat small snails, eggs, or perhaps really tiny, sick fish. They enjoy frozen, dry, or live food, and they might not be fussy, but they do prefer a meat-based diet.

How many Yoyo loaches should be kept together?

Tankmates. If you keep a single yoyo loach, there’s a good chance it will team up with other fish in the tank. While this may not be a problem, it’s best to keep a shoal of at least three, preferably more. Do not keep them with large or aggressive tankmates.

What is the smallest loach?
