Bullet proof snail?
I have a zebra snail? that has been in my cichlid tank for about 6 months and in that time it has climbed out at least 4 times and has been dried up on the carpet for days at a time and on one occasion closer to a week. I always throw it back in to see what will happen and after several hours it is up and crawling again. This last time I threw it into my SW-QT and it has been motoring around in the salt water with no seemingly ill effect for several days now. Anyone heard of such a thing?
 It seems to be bullet proof.   It should be called either the energizer snail that keeps going & going or the cat snail as it seems to have many lives.  Snap

Maybe it's some kind of brackish water snail?
Sounds kind of odd just the same though.

Wow thats very interesting! I would have to agree on the possibility of it being a brackish snail? I have no idea, but very interesting nonetheless!
Also, Im guessing it probably has a little "door" type carapace on the part where its body comes out of the shell? This opening would probably seal up when it gets out. Chris

Thats weird that a fresh water snail could live in salt water just fine!!!
