I have this new snail. He was fine for about 6 weeks and now he is boyant.
He is still alive as when I take him out and put him in a glass with
shallow water so he doesn't float, he walks around the glass. I can't
exactly keep him in the big tank where he can't eat or clean or anything.
Why is he a floater now?


If you are talking about an apple snail/mystery snail they will do that
sometimes, i have one who has been floating for a couple days, last month he
floated for a week, at least any time i checked on him he would be floating.
Here is a page that will let you know just about every thing you need to
know about them.
