Snails Dying...

[Matt21345]

So I have been losing snails recently. I have my fish in a separate tank right now as they are being treated for ich using hyposalinity. So the main tank currently has a variety of snails and 2 peppermint shrimp and a cleaner shrimp. Does anyone know why some snails are dying? I feed the tank everyday.

What type of snails? If you don't have enough algae on the LR (if there is any) then they may need supplemented with algae clips, etc... depending on the snails of course.

just lost 3 of these guys Turban Snail (Tectus fenestratus). I believe I lost Nassarius Snail (Nassarius sp.) as well. I do put algae pieces in the tank as well.

Any hermit crabs or potental predators?

Nope. Only thing maybe be 2 peppermint or a cleaner shrimp
