Trapdoor Snail

Arrived alive and healthy. Once introduced into the tank settled in quickly and started to clear algae. Very happy would definitely recommend for algae cleanup will make it a personal mission to clear it all in record time.

My order of 3 trapdoor snails was very well packaged and arrived on time. Actually I was on my way out to an appointment when the delivery truck pulled up. Being on a hurry I just did a “plop and drop” into my tank and left the house. When I got home I noticed one of the three was sort of hanging out of its shell whereas the other two were exploring the tank. I decided to give it more time but the next morning it was the same situation and it never did recover I consider this my fault because I should have inspected them while still in the shipping bag and taken a picture of it at that time. Also, I probably should have left them in the shipping box and waited to open it when I got back home. I then could have done a proper acclimation before putting them in my tank. Maybe that one snail was in a weakened state from shipping and couldn’t handle the sudden change in water parameters. But I’ll be back and order again as I need some other types. Thanks.
