Hi! I have an apple snail named Melvin, and his shell used to range from dark brown to lighter brown stripes. Lately, I've noticed that he is beginning to turn to a darker green color. I have kind of an ongoing algae issue in my freshwater tank, and it seems he's turning the same color as the algae. I've been researching online, and ( I hope this is correct) I've learned that the algae is more of an eyesore than anything harmful. But being as that is mostly what Melvin eats, would that affect a shell color change? I actually thought at first that he had algae growing on his shell, but I tried to clean him off, and there was nothing on there for me to wipe off.
Any ideas you could give me would be great!
Thanks!!
Jodi
