Hopefully this is the right place for this thread.
I know it has been asked a million times - calcium for Mystery Snails for good shell growth - but I the answers I'm reading are really only confusing me, particularly when products are mentioned and I don't know if they're available in Australia (I don't know what Tums even are!)
I know about adding spinach or cucumber in the tank, but the problem with these options is that they are not always available.
I have heard mention about the holiday feeder blocks are also good for giving snails calcium. Does anyone have any recommendations of what feeder blocks, so I can try and find some brands in Australia?
I have coral sand in a nylon stocking in my filter, but I'm not sure if that is enough. I have 3 Mystery Snails, in a heavily planted 200 litre tank with goldfish. (There are also some Ramshorn and Pond snails that hitched a lift when I bought my plants when I first setup the tank)
My tank is also fully cycled (has been since October last year, when I got my fish) My tap water is a neutral pH 7.4 (or perhaps it was 7.6)
I know the damage is done to my snails shells, but I am hoping to prevent them from becoming worse by getting the calcium into the tank.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
