Tank is 4 month old, YWG and Clownfish, black foot trochus snail and 3 hermits. About a month ago I bought 2 turbos, 2 nassarius and a nano conch. Drip acclimated how I always do, 1/1.5 hours emptying half of the water out each 30 mins. As soon as I add them to the tank, the conch is flipping out doing laps of the tank for an hour and then just stops moving for a couple of day before dying!
The 2 turbos kicked themselves on their shell and died, and nassarius went crazy flipping about and died. All while the black foot trochus snail and all hermits and fish are fine. The CUC I did for my bigger tank were all moving straight away!
Now today about a month later, I’ve tried it again, and the exact same thing has happened to the turbos, conch is flipping out, nassarius snails went mad but then buried themselves, and cerith snails acted abit strange and then buried themselves.
I even took one of the dormant turbos and chucked him straight in my big tank (no acclimation) and he’s moving around the tank straight away!
Im really confused and don’t know what to do, my water seems fine:
ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 20
PO4: 0.03
PH: 8.15
Salinity: 1.025
Temp: 25c
