Adding Crushed Eggshell For My Mystery Snails

Here's a look at my 55 gallon planted T Bar Tank. I'm adding crushed eggshells to the substrate for the added minerals it provides my Mystery Snails.

    Hello, I just bought two mystery snails today and I was wondering how often I should feed them? They are in quarantine right now before I put them in my tank which currently houses two nerite and a betta. Thank you

    Why do you add Egg Shells to the tank. Came here to find out why as the title states and was hoping for a reason :-( Is it for the water parameters. Do the snails eat it. Is it to fix the cracked White snail shell. Soooo many questions.

    Gravel vac is a most. You just have to hope you don't kill any plants. I can't imagine how much work Dan puts into that fish room, allot I'm sure.

    Do your fish ever try to eat the eggshell? My fish always end up eating it and not spitting them out like they do with the sand.

    I have a single Siamese algae eater (genuine) I love watching it but it recently started chasing and pushing the pearl gouramis. This behaviour got worse so I moved him in with large female Plecos and guppys. He isn't bothering either. Could it be that it needs a group? I don't usually keep single fish but it was the only one there at the time. Are all yours in groups?

    How often do you add calcium? How much for a 20 long? I have only mystery snails in this tank.

    this raises the ph correct? i have many soft water type fish and i’d really hate to let it go up. also, do i need to boil the shells? i’m not sure if i should drop a shell in or grind them up but i’ll just have to see.

    Does the egg shell effect ph level?

    My SAE IS Wild. He makes a mess of the substrate by digging into it and pushing it around. He kept smashing my largest snail into the glass so I had to move the snail to a different tank. I took him in from a neighbor that was moving and couldn’t keep him. He needs to be in a larger tank but I live in an apartment and don’t have room.

    I grind up small but not a powder and noticed the mystery snail eats the finely ground egg shell, is that ok? Its been a day and he seems ok. If he is eating it, how often should I put in and how much per gal. would you estimate?? Thank you!

    I have two mystery snails in my brand new tank there’s really no algae or bio film on the walls yet So I blanched a little cucumber and put it out there but it doesn’t look like they’re eating it should I be worried?
