i think my mexican turbo is about to kick the bucket....

most likely staved... but Im woundering if i should leave him for the craps and nassasasus to have a mosh pit on top of,

or wait till i can conferm him dead(moshpit) and remove..


what do you guys think...
 
If it dies, hold your breath when you take it out. They reek when they die. I found that out the hard way and almost lost it.
 
you will want to ttripple bag and tie it UNDER the water , it smells so bad. Once u take it out of hte water and u smell it, game over.
 
The thing is, dead mexican turbos have such a distinct smell.. right away u smell it you know OH DEAD MEXICAN TURBO, almost the same way u think OH FRESH BAKED COOKIES..except one smells goodonesmells bad


charlie,waht does sponge smell like!?! thats one thing i havent really smelled =P,skimate dead snails, dead fish ive smelled but not sponge .mabye thats a goodthing=)
 
LOL. The worstthing about turbos is, when u pull them out of the tank, they always seem to have some dead snail juice still left in the shells .. and it drips onto u, ur clothes, the carpet.. whatever and the smeell sticks around.. haha it sucks

good thing i finished lunch a couple hours ago=)

There is always a catch to taking stuff out of your tank.:D :D :D
 
i dont know if hes dead, or cleaning his shell inside or something...

he moves around inside his shell...

ill just wait and see if i see a mosh pit on him, then ill know
 
Jon...You scared me!:eek: I thought something happened to Gabby:lol: If the snail is dead, IMO I would remove it not just because everyone says they stink(LOL) but also, you don't want to leave any dead critters in your tank to rott and degrade water quality especially if this is in the nano. Just a thought...:)

LMBO!!! then the tittle would have been...... dead ilegal :lol::D not just mexican dood .

I agree with Krishant, take out the snail before it does something to your water parameter :)
 
no not the nano,

my tank.... its not dead yet.. its just doing something. ill wait till theres a mosh pit then ill just remove it.
