The Algae King Koopa Snail is a great addition to help keep decaying plants and algae at a minimum in community and planted aquariums. They are a peaceful snail that will not bother other snails, fish or plants. They are considered to be an exceptional consumer of algae and cyanobacteria. Algae King Koopa Snail are hardy in a mature, stable, well-maintained aquarium. While this snail can live in a wide variety of pH levels, it will live for much longer in alkaline water of over 7.0 pH. If it is kept in acidic water, it is more prone to experience shell erosion. This snail mostly relies on biofilm and algae as their food source, but if that becomes scarce be sure to supplement their diet with spirulina-based foods.

ACCLIMATION: Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller, unfiltered aquariums.

I have 2 Mystery Snails and a betta in a 3.5G tank. Tank is filtered and has a heater. One snail has not grown at all while the other has nearly doubled in size. He is lathargic and I rarely see him eat his food or even come out of the shell. His shell has turned to a dull dark brown colour and looks to be cracking a little bit. Does this sound like a water issue? Does he sound sick? What can I do to help him. In the last picture, he is the smaller snail in the front.
Is this snail is dead? If yes why?
My pet red eared slider Snappy is always sleeping and doesn't eat it's food pellets that I gave him. He runs towards the dry area when I put him in the water and he floats. I have seen some very small worms when I put him in the water.
My turtle seems to be growing a white substance on his head and mouth I was just wondering if you could tell me what it was? I was sort of thinking it was a fungus
My goldfishh is becoming white and is being lazy and staying in the middle of the tank

My turtle does not eat anything. He or she just sleeps. When I put it in the water it flotes and runs towards the dry surface. I have also noticed some very small worms around it when I put it in the water. Please help me.
