I recently got another Horned nerite snail which was slightly bigger than the current one I have in my tank. However, I noticed my smaller snail exhibiting a peculiar habit. It constantly latches itself onto the shell of my other snail and doesn’t leave. It just stays there. I’ve tried separating them but the snail will find the other snail and attach itself right back. Is this a hostile behaviour? What should I do?

maybe it's calcium-deprived? I'm no expert on snails, but I've seen a youtuber have that problem with one of her adopted land snails. before the snail was in her posession, it was kept with many other small snails with no source of calcium. the smaller snails would latch on to the big one, and scrape its shell because there was no other calcium available. have you noticed any scarring/scrapes on your bigger snail?

Had a bit of an ammonia spike last week and my local fish store has said that's the end of my tank cycling, it's been up almost 8 weeks with just my single fummynose and 2 neons. So I obviously got more rummynose. Just curious if anyone else has had any just swimming around randomly than just lay in the bottom corner just breathing. He's doing much better was it just spooked, or trying to work out if he was dreaming? ^_^
