What's wrong with my little guy?

[Pogthefish]

If you want you could ship it to me for about $6 with the usps. i can teach you how (I have never done before, although I know how)

pogthefish,We are going to give the snail another shot as he seems more active lately I'm hoping the third time around will work out. You know what they say "Third times a charm".

[Pogthefish]

Ok :)

[Armani33]

All went well with trial number three!! The two are successfully living together. Armani seems to have nipped off some of the snails tentacle/antennae thingys but other than that they are living peacefully together.

Oh good!!! Did you considerate to do 1-50% and 1-100% water changes a week for your 2.5 gall :)

[Armani33]

I do at least a 50% change once a week I always have.

[ANHEL123]

For 2.5 gall it also better to do 100% on weekly basis.

okay so as you know I put the snail back and it was a success ( or so I thought) turns out my little Armani is more aggressive than I thought he seemed to find it amusing to bite of the poor snails tentacles( ouch! ) and he started to show signs of tail rot ( again! ) so the once again the snail was removed and put in a large glass vase and Armani healed up fine. Now the vase we had him in wasn't one we would never use again soooo we got him a little half gallon glass fish bowl and put some gravel and a large plant in it and I planned to keep until he died. Well the day I got his bowl and a little while after I had set him up in it he wasn't moving ( he was in his shell though) but I picked him up to make sure he was fine weeeeelll I'll just say this quickly I dropped him, his shell broke and he died...Rest in peace little guy sorry for dropping you. So I had this fish bowl with a plant and gravel so I thought what the heck I'll get another betta so I did and I now own Georgio ( my first betta's name is Armani get it?) a very pretty DT male. So there is how my adventure with a snail and Armani's illness ( He is healthy now knock on wood ) and I will never EVER pair a Betta and a snail again. Thanks for all your replies. Oh and feel free to reply to this I just don't need anymore medical fish advice or snail advice lol.

[ANHEL123]

I love your updates!!! I am glad you rescue Georgio and i am glad Armany doing good. Feel bad about snail though :(
I know you said you don't need any advice anymore , but i always worry for every betta in the world to get sick lol Just one more advice for 0.5 gall bowl do 100% water changes every 3 days .

Good luck.

[Armani33]

Thank you! I do water changes every other day for the 0.5 gal bowl is that too often?
