My gold maxima is in trouble. I found an infestation of those pyrimrail snails " I know I spelled that wrong"

I cleaned his shell and all my other clams. that was the only infestation I could find. The clam was looking better for a couple days and then today it looks worse the clam is retracted into its shell all the way around. Unfortunatly I found more snails today. I did a fresh water dip and cleaned the clam again. It this clam is going to make it how long will it possible take to recover?

I would post a pic but I won't get my camera back until tuesday.
 
Unfortunatly the clam died today. I have had clams since july of last year and this is my first death. I feel bad that it was too late when I noticed the problem.

Sorry to hear that :(

But, for every one you picked off there are probably 5 others hiding in your tank. Check, check, and then check more! All the time! It's a PITA, but you have to check all the clams all over. When you haven't seen one in a long time, you may be OK, but keep on checking from time to time.

I recently hadn't seen one in several months, and then I found one on my one max :(

best of luck!
