I couldn't find a better thread to post this in, but after fighting off a dino outbreak I had zero algae in the tank. At least noticeable algae. Although there are copepods.
I've noticed the last two or three days my large Mexican Turbo snail hasn't been moving at all. Now I know he's still alive but I also discovered that my toddler of a nephew unplugged my heating element about 3 days ago. My tank droped from 77° to 69° almost 70°. It only now is back to 77°. Could my snail have stopped moving because of the temperature difference or is it conserving energy due to lack of food?
I want to clarify. I see it, hasn't moved in about a week, and no fish in tank due to complications. Just some clean up crew. I KNOW FOR SURE ITS ALIVE STILL. Just looking for the cause of the lack of movement. This isn't a new snail, I've had him for about 4 months and I'm fairly familiar with it's movement patterns. This is definitely not normal.
