I just put a turbo snail in my tank and it has been releasing a fluid from it. I am assuming it is trying to reproduce but am wondering if it will affect my parameters of the tank. Wondering I need to take the snail out.


29 gallon tank

Sounds like he's trying to spawn. But without a female turbo snail, they can't make babies. And no, I don't think the white stuff will affect your water parameters.
