sorry to hear that hun...

just guessing, maybe too little humidity or poisonous leaves?
too little calcium? dunno, could be a lot of things

[lynneowen1]

the other is fine..................and they live in the same enc. calcium in tank all day and i only feed salad leaves and fruit all organic.................but thanx babe!

[coprex]

if they were apple snails it'd happen that the bigger one has harmed the smaller one, but they aren't so this is unlikely...

[lynneowen1]

I dont no what happened to the lil guy.................other one is fine so maybe such a thing as a runt or failure to grow!

Lynn I have seen this happen before, not to me but I do know some people have reported exactly what you have said, a 'runt' if you will. Some people have suggested the other snail or snails ate the larger share of the food which slowly killed the other but many have said no they all ate large amounts, just one didn't grow at the same rate. Sorry for your loss and I wish I could help more but could be just one of those things.
