| Many times that has occured to me. The snail most likely crawled out of the tank, it should be around the tank area. It hasn't gotten far.

| so i took the wall apart and found him stuck in the big floor grate, how long can these guys live out of the water? i could see him inside the shell, dont know if he was dead or not, if he's dead i at least got a nice tank decoration.

| As long as they're moist they should be ok...but who knows. I'd plop him in some water and see how it goes.

| i put him back in the tank right away, he only cost me a 1.50, and i still have 2 more, they had babies once, but the bichir ate them quickly. worst case scenario is i have a $1.50 decoration
