Hello it's question time again. My ramshorn snail seems to have a white spot with a hole in it. I suspect they need some calcium in the aquarium. how do I do this?
How often should I feed the snails. I've been giving them, in the evening, a bit of a spirlina algae tablet and either cuke, boiled zuke,collards. so far.
Thanks for your help forthcoming. :)

You can buy liquid calcium at drugstores, or place calcium blocks(pet stores sell) in the tank, or cuttlefish bones(pet stores sell, they are for birds) in the tank or I could sell you some hard water :D. hth

Okay, false alarm! Now I have my glasses on and it's daylight I can see the shell is just a little white in a spot from his opening. So maybe it's just new stuff but there is no hole. Phew!
Sas thanks for the offer. Thrrrrpt!
