Greetings,

I recieved my order of assorted aquatic plants yesterday. Included in
the order were two marble snails. I placed them in the tank last
night, along with the plants, but since then they have not moved at
all - even overnight while the lights were out. Could they have died
during shipping, or are they just a little spooked and won't come out
of shell for a day or so? Many thanks.

I never head of marble snails? Are they apple snails? this site has
pictures. http://www.applesnail.net
I have around 20 applesnails adults. And sometimes they don't move for a
few days. And sometimes they have been dead. If you just got them they
might be recovering from the trip.

If you pick one of them up and uses your nose to detect if there is
any smell, you will have the answer.
Any dead animal will start smelling very fast at tropical water
temperatures.
