Aaron Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Not so much of an emergency, but something that appears to have killed a snail of mine: It won't keep away from the filter! It keeps kind of wrapping itself around the intake, and when I came home today the poor thing was almost sucked right out of his shell. The other snails I have stay away, but more than once I have had to pry this one off the filter. Annoying! Stay away poor snails! -01- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Put a piece of foam over the filter intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melody Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 LOL He's a piglet. You can get an Aquaclear sponge insert and cut an 'X' down into it with a knife, then slip it right on - works like a charm. However, it will act as a prefilter and they have to be changed/cleaned quite often. You can try pantyhose or a media bag as well but it won't help the pull much. Otherwise about all you can do is turn the filter down. Mine have no problem getting off the filter, they're quite strong, so it may have been that he was weak from something else.
