Got a bunch of snails on the 14th of this month. Every snail seems to be doing great except this lethargic one.

Rarely he looks like he is getting some pep, I've only seen him bury half way once. He is sometimes over night abiut an I ch away from where I left him but the last few days hell just arch his body and flip him self and stay there on his side.

Cleaner shrimp checks him out and leaves usually cause the snail to retract a bit which is the only way I know he's alive.

What should I do here? Some said here it may take a few days to pep up but idk man haha he's not looking good Mr Stark...

Leave him in till its dead?
Is it for sure going to die?

I almost just feel bad seeing how pathetic it is just lethargic in the tank :/

P. S. Params normal and stable. Like I said he's the only weird one
 
I don't understand how some people are able to track their snails so closely, you must have a nano. He could just be lazy. I wouldn't toss it if it wasn't dead.
Fluval 13.5. That's kinda where I'm at I'll feel bad if I find out in the future he was just stunned for a week (even though that sounds dumb to even say.

I've had that happen in the past with a couple of nass. Both eventually died. I'd see like half a nose sticking out from the sand for a day or two. It will likely die soon. I just left mine in there, cause circle of life and all that; but in a nano, I'd probably just count it as a loss.

That's what I figured. Especially compared to all the other snails. I'm no snail Dr but somethings are kind of obvious ya know
