Large Mexican Turbos dying

[r1racer]

What kills snails? There is plenty of brown algae for them to feed on and my parameters are good. It seems like I am losing all of my mexican turbos.The nassarius and astreas seem to be doing fine.

They come from colder water than what we keep our tanks at.

It would be a good idea to check your water parameters. I keep my tank at 80F and have Mexican Turbos. At first I was having some issues with losing them. However, I wasn't dosing at that time and my Alk was really low.

If your turbos aren't that old they shouldn't be dying. From my understanding the warmer water causes them to have a shortened life span... you shouldn't be losing them over the period of a few months.

My temp runs from 79-81. Alk is 8-9, salinity 1.024-1.025, cal 420, mag 1320. I had about 6 and now have two left. This happened in about a months time.
