Gut Protruding Snail?
December 15, 2009
Lately, the snail has been seen just sort of sticking to a weird spot in the
aquarium like behind the outflow of the hang-on-the-back filter. Also, it
looks as if he is protruding his guts from the snail at times. Is this
normal?
10g guppy/platy tank
December 14, 2009
Below are some pics of my 5yr old son’s 10g aquarium. The substrate for the
tank is a mixture of eco-complete plant substrate and some mixed gravel. The
tank currently consists of:
- 4 fancy male guppies
- 3 Red Wag Platies
- 2 pepper corydoras catfish
- 1 snail
of java fern in the tank to provide some natural plant life and aid in the
water filtration process.

Why does Amquel+ Stink?

The smell is the sulfur in the main ingredients, hydrosulfieds. If it didn't smell light rotten eggs, you know it has gone bag. With proper dosing the tank should not smell like sulfur If it does, then you have another problem…hydrogen-sulfied gas pockets in your substrate. This is deadly. I just keep my Prime bottle in a big ziplock once its open. Stops the cabinet from smelling. [via Cichlid-Forum]
Makes sense to me. I like the tip about putting the bottle in a zip lock bag!
