My snail...help - MyFishTank.Net Freshwater Saltwater Aquarium Fish Forum

My apple snail has been floating for the last several days. All of his insides are like hanging out. I keep thinking he's dead, but when I remove him from the tank and put him another container to see if he moves, he begins moving his antennae (is that what they're called?) I haven't seen him descend to the bottom or stick to the walls or anything. Right now I have him in a container with little water and some shrimp pellets on the bottom. He either doesn't seem able, or doesn't seem interested in eating. Is he dying? Is there anything I can do? I would hate to watch him starve to death

is there any area of your aquarium where he could go up above the water on the sides?

ive seen ramshorm snails do what your desrcibing quite often.

And if its moving its probally not dead
