Good evening.
Yesterday I purchased 2 Nerite snais for my 5 gallon low tech tank . I've read somewhere they're prone to escape if there's a gap or space under the hood. Is this true? Has anyone here had an escaped snail, or indeed a whole crew go missing?
Is there anyway to prevent them escaping, bar filling the spaces at the back of the hood or am I being paranoid about the whole thing?
I did read rubbing Vaseline just over the waterline prevents escape, but am unsure of any toxic effect this may have.
Cheers.
