Hey all, I've got another question lined up for you. So I've added my first fish (3 small Comets) and a golden apple snail to my tank. They're all doing fine and the levels in the tank look pretty good. The snail was roaming around and being very active for the first few days but starting yesterday I noticed the fish were picking on him/her. Today, after taking a closer look, I've found that they have completely bitten off the snail's antennae and it seems to only move around in sort of a defense mode with the shell down over its head.
I've become quite fond of the snail so I'm pretty concerned. I'm thinking I should move the snail into my girlfriend's Betta bowl (1G, Java fern, no filter) but I wanted to know if there's any reason why I should leave the snail in the tank. I feel pretty bad that I didn't catch it earlier, so I want to do what's best for the snail who btw I plan on keeping longer than the comets. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
