I bought three apple snails for my daughters tank, But only after a few days they have all died. Its wierd they look as if they have been eaten from the inside out. Anybody any ideas as to whats happened to them?

i did get some kuli loaches that might have been the culprits, But i don't think so, the foot of the snail was still in the shell at the opening of the shell. and there was nothing left in the shell and all the snails were left like this, like i said weird!!!

Ah i see what you mean but as far as i know when they die they end up like that theres just that brown part of the snail left in the opening but it is weird how they are died so quick.Did you check your water stats?

My water stats are fine, i have never used any chemicals what so ever in that tank, The fish are all in perfect health, it's strange how just the foot is left and there is absolutely nothing inside the shell
