Help!!

[cyeater]

I did my normal water test today, it showed a trace of ammonia, .25ppm to be exact, it appears my snails are slowing dying, few of them are still looking good my other test are as follows:

PH: 8.2
Ammonia: .25ppm
Nitrate: 10ppm which has been 0ppm since my cycle finished
Nitrite: 0ppm

What should I do?

Thanks

10 % water change and carbon

Right, I do need to change my carbon its been almost a month, any reason as to why the snails are dying?

there may not be enough food for them...might try some alega tabs. .... . sometimes snails just die they dont have a very long life span. ... . some snails will die if they fall on there back they can get back up.

will not be your ammonia that is killing your snails imo, my ammonia is above 5 at the moment and snails are munching away.. I go with untamed on the food idea
