Hi everyone,
Having an issue with my fighting conch. I've had the little guy for about two years. Day before yesterday, it was tipped over. I picked it up and the shell broke, so there is a large piece missing now. I thought the conch was dead but left it in the tank to be sure. It has moved a little and when I scooped it out last night, it was definitely still alive. It hasn't moved much since.
Is there a way to help it? Can I patch the shell with something? Should I just leave it alone and hope for the best? Also, why was the shell so fragile? The piece that came off was thin and kind a crumbled. Makes me think there's a bigger issue in the tank. Will test water tonight.
Thank you!
Cheers,
